The Democratic Party of Kosovo (Albanian: Partia Demokratike e Kosovës, PDK) is one of the largest political parties in Kosovo. It was originally a social-democratic party coming out of the demilitarised Kosovo Liberation Army after the Kosovo War, with most of the leadership coming from Albanian nationalists and former members of the People's Movement of Kosovo. However, during its congress in January 2013, it positioned itself as a centre-right party and is considered to be a conservative party. The Democratic Party of Kosovo since July 2021 is headed by Memli Krasniqi, the former Vice President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports.
