Movement for Integration and Unification

Movement for Integration and Unification, (Albanian: Lëvizja Kombëtare për Integrim dhe Bashkim) was a radical nationalist political party in Kosovo[a], being a direct successor of National Movement for the Liberation of Kosovo, (Albanian: Lëvizja Kombëtare për Çlirimin e Kosovës, LKÇK), a radical left-wing nationalist political movement in Kosovo, coming out as a faction of LPK in the 1990s promoting war against the Yugoslavian authorities and strong Albanian irredentism.

Its leader was Smajl Latifi, followed by Fadil Fazliu after his resignation.[1] In May 2011, MIU joined the Movement for Unification (Albanian: Lëvizja për Bashkim, LB), of Avni Klinaku, another former member of National Movement for the Liberation of Kosovo.[2]

Notes

a.   ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
