History[edit]

At the latest legislative election in 2016, the party received one seat in parliament, a drop from its peak of two seats in 2014 election. It raised to 3 seats in 2020, following a campaign by Albania's foreign service to increase the political participation of Albanian ethnic minority from the Presevo Valley in Serbia's political elections.[5][6]
