Mujë Krasniqi (6 June 1967 – 14 December 1998), also known as Kommandant Kapuçi, was one of the founders and early commanders of Kosovo Liberation Army, who died during an Ambush of Serbian forces in Gorozhup, near the border of that time of Yugoslavia and Albania. Serving as an early fighter, coordinator of military operations, and a crucial link between the regions of Drenica, Dukagjin and Pashtrik during the initial phase of resistance against Serbian forces, he is regarded as a prominent leader and also a close comrade of Adem Jashari.
