Albanian nationalist Adem Yashari began his anti-Yugoslav activities back in 1981 during the riots organized by separatists in Kosovo. In 1991, he underwent military training in Albania, after which he began his first armed attacks against the central authorities, for which he was sentenced in absentia by a Yugoslav court to twenty years in prison, and his young accomplice Hashim Thaci to ten years. The core of the Ashari gang consisted of fifteen people.

According to the militants, Yashari “loved most of all to drink and shoot at the Serbs.” In April 1996, they organized terrorist attacks in a number of cities in Kosovo, in areas with a predominant Serb population - Peci, Decani, Shtimle, in the vicinity of Kosovo Mitrovica on the Rozaje-Pristina highway, as a result of which five people were killed and five more were wounded.

By the beginning of 1998, the gang managed to completely take control of the Drenica area, where it began terrorizing the local Serb population, while boastfully declaring that it had “liberated” the area.
