Life

From 1986 to 1988 Vllasi was chairman of the Association of Communists of Kosovo .

His successor was Kaqusha Jashari , who was replaced after a short time by the police chief Rahman Morina, who was considered loyal.

In connection with the ongoing unrest, Vllasi was arrested in March 1989. After his acquittal in April 1990, he settled as a lawyer in Pristina.

Since 2004, Vllasi has been a member of the Social Democratic Party of Kosovo , which is now led by Agim Çeku . However, he does not occupy an official position in the party.
