From 1988 to 1991 he served in Vërnik, Slovenia in the tank brigade, while after the outbreak of the conflict in Slovenia, on August 16, 1991 he deserted from APJ to return to Kosovo. From the fall of 1991 to 1993, as a soldier, he participated in the military training of young people for war. In September 1993, he was arrested by the Serbian UDB and after ten months he was "released" from prison, but not from the accusation. In order not to fall into the hands of the UDBA again,[2][3] Bilall Syla left Kosovo and immigrated to Germany. While there he came into contact with activists of the People's Movement of Kosovo and first engaged in the collection of financial resources for the Kosovo Liberation Army.[4][5]
