He began to write under pseudonyms, such as Hilushi, Hilush Vilza and Borizani. He was an education minister at the time of the Italian invasion of Albania during World War II. He sent two hundred teachers to establish Albanian schools in Kosovo. Koliqi was the founder of leading magazines in Albania, many of which covered geography and culture in the country.
