At an early age he joined the Albanian national movement, becoming a member of the Prizren League and the Peugeot League. At this time, he committed, together with members of the League, criminal acts against the population of the city of Kichevo . [1] Tried to establish relations with other Albanian leaders with the Serbian government, which helped the rebels with money and weapons.

Under the leadership of Boletini, there were about 2,000 people under Uroshevac and Prizren . Despite fierce resistance, the uprising was crushed by superior forces of the Ottoman forces of 16,000 under the command of . The Ottoman government took tough measures to maintain power in Kosovo Vilayet. [2]
