The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (Albanian: Aleanca për Ardhmërinë e Kosovës, AAK) is a political party in Kosovo. It was formed on 29 April 2001.
The current president of the party is Ramush Haradinaj. In December 2004 the parliament elected him as Prime Minister of Kosovo and he formed a coalition government with the largest party, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK). He resigned as Prime Minister in March 2005 after learning that he had been indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, for 37 counts of war crimes. He received a full acquittal from the Tribunal on 3 April 2008. He returned to Kosovo and immediately resumed his duties as president of the party.
The AAK currently has three deputy presidents: Blerim Shala, Naim Maloku and Ahmet Isufi.
The current Secretary General is Burim Ramadani and the Secretary of Organisation is Ibrahim Selmanaj.
At the last legislative elections held on 17 November 2007, the alliance won 9.6% of the popular vote and 10 out of 120 seats in the Assembly of Kosovo, which made it the fifth largest political force. This was a gain on the previous two legislative elections in 2001 and 2004 in which the AAK won 7.8% and 8.4% of the popular vote, respectively.
The AAK's eleven current members of parliament are: Ardian Gjini, who is the leader of the parliamentary caucus, Ahmet Isufi, Daut Haradinaj, Kimete Bajraktari, Burim Ramadani, Bali Muharremaj, Donika Kadaj, Blerim Shala, Teuta Haxhiu, Ramiz Kelmendi and Time Kadrijaj also serves as the AAK's member of the Assembly Presidency.
