    The UÇK (short for Albanian Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës, "Liberation Army of Kosovo") was an Albanian paramilitary organization that fought for the independence of Kosovo.

    It was created in 1994 and first appeared publicly in 1996. Their goal was the independence of Kosovo, their means was armed struggle. In this way, parts of the UÇK also sought to unite all areas in Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Greece inhabited by a majority of ethnic Albanians with the mother country Albania. Co-founder and leader was Adem Jashari until his death in 1998, then Hashim Thaçi until the KLA was dissolved in 1999.

    At this point I can only recommend studying the following two Wikipedia entries.
