Biography

[edit]

Early life

[edit]

Deralla was born in Kalkandelen, Ottoman Empire (present day Tetovo, North Macedonia).[1][2] Jusufi studied at Rome and Padua before returning to Tetovo to join the Luboten Battalion.

Luboten Battalion

[edit]

When the Luboten Battalion was incorporated into the Balli Kombëtar, Jusufi joined the battalion as a captain and fought alongside Gajur Deralla. The battalion was successful against the Yugoslav partisans in Tetovo[3][4] as Tetovo had the largest Balli Kombëtar base in Macedonia.

Death

[edit]

At the end of 1943, Rexhep Jusufi went along with Gajur Deralla and the Luboten division to Kicevo to help the Balli Kombëtar forces of Mefail Shehu against the Yugoslav partisans.[5] En route to Kičevo, partisan forces organised an ambush at Bukovici. Jusufi fell into the ambush at Bukovici which resulted in his death.
