Isa Mustafa ([ɪˈsɑ mʉsˈtɑfä]; born 15 May 1951) is the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo and leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK). Mustafa was Mayor of Pristina from December 2007 to December 2013.
Mustafa was born in the village of Prapashtica, in the Gollak Highlands of District of Pristina, Kosovo on 15 May 1951, to Albanian parents. He finished Primary and High School in Pristina, and attended the University of Pristina in the Faculty of Economics, where he obtained a master's degree and a PhD. In 1974, he began his professional work, as an examiner at the University of Pristina.
Isa Mustafa began his political career on the 1980s, when he became the head of the municipal government of Pristina, from 1984 to 1988. In the 1990s, as Yugoslavia started to break up, Mustafa became the Minister of Economy and Finances of the government of the Republic of Kosova, in exile, headed by Bujar Bukoshi. During this time, an arrest warrant for Mustafa was issued within Yugoslavia – which did not become international, making possible his work in Western Europe. Mustafa did not apply for any political asylum, and was able to return to Kosovo anytime if needed.
