History
The party was founded as an underground movement on 25 May 1993 in Pristina by a faction of the dissident Marxist-Leninist organization People's Movement of Kosovo (LPK), the founding base of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) guerilla movement. Like the LPK, the LKCK faction advocated the concept of Natural Albania and military action against the Milošević administration, but contrary to the pacifist policies of the dominant Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and what it perceived as similar tendencies to moderation inside the LPK.
Elections
The LKCK was initially part of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, despite the latter's centre-right political position. At the legislative elections held on 24 October 2004, the party boycotted the elections.
Today
As one of the most radical political organizations in Kosovo, the party opposes the Ahtisaari plan and the current presence of the United Nations and European Union in the region, advocating total independence for Kosovo. It maintains connections with the VETËVENDOSJE! movement of Albin Kurti. The party, together with a number of its former leaders, is blacklisted by the U.S. Department of Treasury.[1]
