Partia Fryma e Re (in English: New Spirit Party), abbreviated FER, was a political party in Kosovo. It was founded and registered with CEC (Central Elections Committee) in October 2010 by Harvard graduate Shpend Ahmeti, Ilir Deda, Director of the Kosovo Institute for Policy Research and Development (KIPRED) and others, and supports Kosovo in becoming a new generation political state. "We do not distinguish citizens based on where they come from . . . they are individuals and everyone will be represented without distinction," stated Deda. FER has participated in the next general elections in Kosovo on December 12, 2010, and is presently enjoying great popularity.^[1]

Although getting huge media Facebook and YouTube hype it fared badly in the Kosovan parliamentary election, 2010 receiving a mere 2% of the vote and not passing the 5% threshold which would allow them into parliament.

It merged into Vetëvendosje! on 31 March 2011.^[2]
