He was born on October 19, 1920 in Kokaj, near Peja, in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. He finished his elementary school in Peja in Serbian language and due to his Catholic background attended catholic high school in Prizren, one of the few Albanians between Croatians and Slovenes, finishing it in 1941. After high school, he studied literature in University of Padova, Italy and after the World War II he studied Geography and Ethnography in the University of Belgrade. Krasniqi published in Rilindja newspaper since 1945 in Prizren. After writing an article related to Marije Shllaku, he was accused of overpassing the nationalistic boundaries and his scholarship got cancelled.[1] Despite that, he graduated in 1950.[2]

He published various studies and scientific books on ethnography and geography as well as textbooks.[2] He was most widely known as a writer, especially for his poetry for children.
