Bac u kry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bac u kry is an Albanian slogan which was used during Kosovo's independence from Serbia in February 2008. It means "Uncle, it's over".[1]

The slogan was also used on T-shirts, pens and posters. The creators of this phrase say that this symbolizes the independence which many ethnic Albanians dreamt for since the end of the Kosovo War in 1999.[1]

The slogan often accompanies the face of Adem Jashari, an ethnic Albanian commander during the Kosovo War who was killed in action.[1]

Uses[edit]

The slogan was used by many. There are billboards which use this phrase. In addition, in downtown Borroramizi (Pallati i Rinisë) there is a flag with exactly the same expression.
