The Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosovo or Albanian Demochristian Party of Kosovo (Albanian: Partia Shqiptare Demokristiane e Kosovës, PSHDK) is a political party in Kosovo. It embraces Christian democratic ideals in Kosovo, although not all of its members are Catholic as is the case in some other countries.
At the last legislative elections, 24 October 2004, the party won 1.8% of the popular vote and 2 out of 120 seats.
The president of Albanian Christian Democratic Party of Kosovo is Nikë Gjeloshi.
The Albanian Demochristian Party of Kosovo is a close ally of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), consequently, the first post-war minister of transport and telecommunications of the Kosovo Government was a member of PShDK. The Albanian Demochristian Party of Kosovo platform promotes an independent, free, and democratic Kosovo and like all other Kosovo Albanian political parties does not take part in the general elections in Serbia nor any other election or referendum organized by the Serbian parliament.
