Wow...this is a tricky one. To be honest, I could go either way on this one. My standard line is that "Kosovo" is the English usage and all other variants ("Kosova" as well as "Kosovo and Metohija") should be avoided. I never, ever write "Kosovo" when I'm writing for work, where I have to be studiously neutral. In fact, nothing annoys me more than people who try to insert "Kosova" into various texts! That being said, part of me thinks that when translating the name of an Albanian organization, like a political party, it seems odd to impose on them my preferred usage. I don't know. Again, I could go either way on this one. Envoy202 02:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Political party or political alliance?
[edit]I'm confused as to whether this is a unitary party or an alliance. The article refers to it as a party but the articles for the "smaller parties" seem to refer to it as an alliance. I think some clarification is needed. Charles Essie (talk) 02:50, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
