Kadri Bazi Breza was an ethnic Albanian, born in the village Brezë, located in the Karadak region.[1] Kadri Bazi was the son of Abaz Breza, and had three Brothers.[1] Kadri Breza began his life as a merchant, active in the old bazaars of Skopje, which were then part of the Ottoman Empire.[1] On one occasion, a Serbian priest in the Old Bazaar of Skopje harassed two Muslim Albanian women from Matejče.[1] The priest stripped the clothes off the two women and started beating them with a whip.[1] The following day, upon learning of the incident, Kadri Breza tracked down the Serbian priest and killed him by firing six bullets into his head.[1]
Life as a Kachakedit
Before the First Balkan War, he participated in the Battle of Kaçanik and the Capture of Skopje by Albanian troops during the Albanian Uprising of 1912.[1][3] During the First Balkan War, Kadri Breza, alongside Idriz Seferi and others such as Sulë Hotla, participated in the Battle of Kumanovo.[1] Kadri Breza, in particular, fought on the Tabanovce front, where he encountered the forces of Radomir Putnik.[1] During the battle, the Ottomans accidentally fired their artillery shells at the Albanians defending Tabanovce instead of attacking Serbian forces.[1] The accidental friendly fire is also said to have damaged the old Tabanovce mosque.[1] Nevertheless, after suffering heavy casualties from the friendly fire, the Albanian Kachaks had to retreat.[1]Idriz Seferi, while trying to withdraw, was also captured by the Serbian Army.[4] Kadri Breza managed to escape and returned to his home village of Brezë afterwards.[1] In 1913, Serbian forces captured Villages in the Karadak region, under them Kadri Breza's village.[1] During that time a Serbian officer named Bašić with his unit composing of 300 men committed murders in the village, it was there when Bašić wanted to rape a local girl.[3] Kadri Breza heard the cries for help by the local girl and armed with a axe approached the Serbian commander, beheading him in front of all his men.[3] Surprised by this, the entire Serbian unit fled the village.[3] Kadri Breza then went into hiding in the mountains, where he was never caught by the Serbian Authorities.[5][1]
