The Movement for Unification (Albanian: Lëvizja për Bashkim, LB) is a political party in Kosovo. Its main goal is unification of Kosovo and all other former Yugoslavian territories populated by Albanians to Albania. Its leader is Avni Klinaku, known as co-founder of former National Movement for the Liberation of Kosovo (Albanian: Lëvizjes Kombëtare për Çlirimin e Kosovës, LKÇK), a nationalist organization of the 1980s promoting active resistance and separation of Kosovo from Yugoslavia, having some connections to People's Movement of Kosovo (PMK).[1]
Political activity
[edit]During 2010 elections in Kosovo, the party ran in coalition with Vetëvendosje, within the latter's parliamentary group, but split the following year.[2][3]
LB was the promoter of the parliamentary resolute of 6 September 2012 for replacing all telephony codes of Kosovo with +355 of Albania,[4][5] which was ignored by Kosovo government and overruled by the controversial agreements in Brussels.[6][7]
On 23 May 2011, Movement for Integration and Unification, (Albanian: Lëvizja për Integrim dhe Bashkim, LBI) joined LB.[8] MIU had been the main successor of National Movement for the Liberation of Kosovo, with Fadil Fazliu being the leader after the resignation of Smajl Latifi.[9]
