Biography
Albanian Revolt of 1912; one of the organizers of the League of Junik and activist of Albanian national movements of the early 20th century.[1][2]
His sons, Gani, Ceno, Hasan, and Said were influential during the early and mid 20th century in southern Kosovo and north Albania. At a short notice, they were able to gather men and logistics for constructing guerrillas.[3]
The Kryeziu brothers were
Ceno Bey, Gani Bey, Said Bey, Ali, Rada, and Hasan Bey Kryeziu from the Gjakova region in Kosovo.[4]
Ceno Bey became the brother-in-law of
King Zog I, Yugoslav authorities pinpointed Ceno as a near replacement for Ahmet Zogu, who became aware of the connection between Ceno and the Yugoslavs and paid one of his agents to assassinate him in Prague in 1927.[6][7]
The other three brothers were less famous than Ceno until
Allied Headquarters, collaborating with American and British officers.[8][9][10] Enver Hoxha later called them, in disdain, "British and Yugoslav agents".[11]
