"PDK... Thaci": Hashim Thaci was a UCK (KLA) leader who formed the Partia Demokratike e Kosoves (Democratic Party of Kosovo) after the war; the party's reputation was tarnished by the apparent involvement of some of its members in organised crime. Both it and its rival, the Aleanca per Ardhmerin ne Kosoves (Alliance for the Future of Kosovo), formed by another UCK (KLA) leader, Ramush Haradinaj, after the war, were defeated in elections by Lidhja Demokratike e Kosoves (Democratic League of Kosovo), which was formed by the head of the parallel institutions, Ibrahim Rugova.
