A telling example of how individual members of the Bahá'í community adapted to the circumstances in Yugoslavia over time, particularly during the 1980s, is the Capari family. In the 1930s, Refo (Rifat) Capari returned to his native Albania from the United States to share his newfound faith. Known for his hard work and integrity, he became a respected member of the local community and maintained correspondence with Shoghi Effendi, who provided him with guidance. Before World War II, Refo Capari passed away, leaving behind his wife Fiqrije and three children. By the 1980s, the Austrian Bahá’í community discovered that Refo Capari’s family had settled in Prizren, Kosovo, Fiqrije’s hometown. A Bahá’í couple, travelled to Kosovo and met Fiqrije and two of her children. During their visit, the family shared that they had remained steadfast in their faith, recounting how Shoghi Effendi had supported them during the war and later arranged for an American family to assist them materially. Today, their descendants continue to live in Kosovo, carrying forward the legacy of their ancestors.
