description The goal of this paper is to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the murder of four and wounding of three members of the Yugoslav Federal Militia Special Unit on May 13, 1981, in the village of Donje Prekaze in Drenica (SAP Kosovo). An attempt to bring Tahir Meha to serve a two-month prison sentence turned into an exchange of fire during which Tahir and his father Nebih were killed. In the years that followed a myth has been spread among Albanians about the life and heroic death of Tahir Meha, which was then built into the foundations of the Albanian separatist movement and attempts to build the statehood of Kosovo. Extensive archival material collected after the skirmish reveals the true events behind the myth.
