Haliti's career began in 1986 when he opposed the Serbian regime in Kosovo by taking part in the communist group called the Resistance Front, which supplied the guerrillas forces in Kosovo with weapons. For this, he was put under surveillance by the Yugoslavian secret police UDBA and was detained for activities related to separatist activities in Yugoslavia. In 1987, Haliti was forced to flee Kosovo for Switzerland, where he met Azem Syla and Ali Ahmeti and joined People's Movement of Kosovo, a communist nationalist group which collected funds for guerrilla groups in Kosovo, although the group later abandoned communism. Later in 1997, when the group was known as the Kosovo Liberation Army, Haliti contributed to the Albanian diaspora, and was acclaimed for his contribution to the issue of national liberation in Kosovo. In 1993, he joined KLA alongside Fatmir Limaj, Jakup Krasniqi, Rexhep Selimi, Hashim Thaqi, Adem Grabovci, and Nait Hasani. Haliti was also given the role of diplomat for the People's Movement of Kosovo, as well as a delegate of the Kosovo delegation in Rambouillet. Subsequently, Haliti became a member of the Party for Democratic Progress of Kosovo, which was later recognized in 1999 as the Democratic Party of Kosovo by the EU. After the liberation of Kosovo, he was elected as a deputy in the Kosovo Assembly in 2007, and later was elected to parliament.
