Three of the victims

Kosovo is facing an alarming toll of murders of women.

During 2026, eight women were murdered in Kosovo, in cases that have shocked public opinion and have once again called into question the effectiveness of institutional mechanisms for preventing violence and ensuring women's safety, writes Klan Kosova.

Despite the constant statements of institutional representatives, some of these cases have provoked strong reactions, especially when they have been accompanied by question marks over the measures taken to prevent violence and protect victims.

The murder of Arlinda Zekaj on the evening of October 25 in Vitomirica, Peja, brought to eight the number of women killed in Kosovo this year, according to reported cases. Among the victims are a woman in her 60s, a pregnant 25-year-old, and another woman who had sought protection from institutions just three days before she was killed.

January – Restelica, Dragash

The year began with a serious incident in the village of Restelicë/Restelicë, Dragash/Dragaš, where a woman in her 60s was found dead. Her son, aged around 30, was suspected of murdering her. According to the Police, the suspect was arrested and detained for further legal proceedings, while authorities launched investigations to fully clarify the circumstances of the incident.

Egzon Foniqi and Jetlira Bytyqi

On the evening of August 23, Jetlira Foniqi Bytyqi, 25 years old and pregnant, lost her life after being shot in the village of Kërvasari, Malisheva.

Her husband, Egzon Foniqi, 26, who was also wounded by gunfire, was suspected of murdering her. Despite medical treatment, Jetlira did not survive her injuries, while her husband later died in hospital.

Another tragic case was recorded in Prizren, where an 80-year-old woman, with the initials LD, was suspected of being murdered by her 81-year-old husband.

September – Upper Poterq, Klina

In Poterq i Epërm, Klina, Zoje Zeneli, 81 years old, was attacked by her son.

Ajo pësoi lëndime të rënda dhe u dërgua për trajtim në Qendrën Klinike Universitare të Kosovës. Pas afro një muaji në trajtim, më 6 tetor, ajo ndërroi jetë në QKUK. Ngjarja nuk është zbardhur ende plotësisht…

Tetor – Livoç i Ulët, Gjilan

Më 9 tetor, të shtënat me armë zjarri në Livoç të Ulët të Gjilanit u morën jetën Nafije Bogujevcit dhe vëllait të saj, Egzon Bogujevcit.

Për rastin dyshohej bashkëshorti i Nafijes, i cili, më pas u dorëzua në Polici.

Tetor – Vitomiricë, Pejë

Letra e Arlindës

Rasti më i fundit është vrasja e Arlinda Zekajt, e cila humbi jetën mbrëmjen e djeshme në Vitomiricë të Pejës. Për vrasjen e saj dyshohet kunati, i cili është shpallur në kërkim nga policia.

Rasti ka ngjallur shqetësim të veçantë për shkak të asaj që kishte ndodhur vetëm tri ditë para vrasjes së saj.

Më 22 tetor, Arlinda i ishte drejtuar me një shkresë urgjente kryeprokurores së Prokurorisë Themelore në Pejë, duke kërkuar ndërhyrje dhe duke shprehur shqetësimin për sigurinë e saj.

Në letrën e saj, ajo kishte paralajmëruar për rrezikun me të cilin përballej, duke shkruar: Uroj që të mos detyroheni të jepni llogari vetëm pasi të jetë marrë jeta ime.

Tetë rastet e raportuara gjatë vitit 2026 rikthejnë në vëmendje nevojën për trajtimin serioz të dhunës ndaj grave dhe reagimin në kohë të institucioneve përkatëse.
