Flaka e Janarit

[citation needed] It was exactly the tenth anniversary without these three martyrs of freedom and from coincidence of these murders in a same date on 11 January, this event got this name Flaka e Janarit.

"Flaka e Janarit" did not only serve as a highly qualitative cultural event to remember martyrs, it also reflected the situation in Kosovo.

Founder of Manifestation were Independent Cultural Association (which operated from 1991 to 1999) and the Youth Forum of LDK, in Gjilan.

[citation needed] It was named as "Flaka e Janarit", because in this month heroically had fallen martyrs, as Skanderbeg, Jusuf Gërvalla, Isa Boletini, Kadri Zeka, Bardhosh Gërvalla, Rexhep Mala, Nuhi Berisha and other Albanians who gave their life for freedom and national unity.

This let us understand that, even after many hard circumstances of Kosova from invaders, "Flaka e Janarit" did not stop its journey.

Today for his patriotic actions talk many his friends who fought together to protect homeland, and we see his name in any flag of Albania.

In high school he became friend with Rexhep Mala, with whom he fought for Kosovo's freedom and unity.

Soon after the night of 17 January 1982 he and his brother were killed in Untergruppenbach near bulletproof Stuttgart from Albanians nation adversaries.

Jusuf Gërvalla's literary creativity, his poetry and journalism had an important impact in the development of the art and of the Albanian opinions.

[10] A famous quote of Jusuf Gërvalla is:"At the forefront of this nation and to its feet, sacrifice and death for realizing its aspirations, will come to us with glory through life.
