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.

“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“As if paralyzed by the national fear of ideas, the democratic distrust of whatever strikes beneath the prevailing platitudes, it evades all resolute and honest dealing with what, after all, must be every healthy literature’s elementary materials.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“A baby changes your dinner party conversation from politics to poops.”
—Maurice Johnstone (20th century)
