Work and activity

Ramadani edited the periodical Ushtima e maleve, which was described by the Yugoslav authorities as hostile and irredentist. Due to this, and his political alignment with the national movement, Ramadani was arrested and imprisoned in 1981.

Ramadani is known as a literary creator, where his literary creativity is mainly focused on the treatment of national motives, respectively the topic of patriotism.

His main interests lie in literary, journalistic, cultural and political writings, which he occasionally publishes in Albanian dailies and periodicals. He has written for the daily Rilindja, the literary magazines Jeta e Re, Pionieri, Flaka in Skopje, Haemus in Bucharest, and Athina in Athens, along with the Albanian newspapers Shekulli, Koha onna, Bujku and Euro-Rilindja among others. Since 2000, he was worked for the Kosovan daily Epoka e Re and his articles have appeared in papers such as Express, Infopress and the news agency Kosova press. He worked as editor-in-chief at the temporary "Ushtima e maleve" (2001–2002), and the editorial offices of Radio-Albana (in Kumanovo) and Ajo Rinia as a journalist. Some of his works have been translated into other languages.
