The themes dominating the pre-election campaign of Albanian parties in Kosovo range from the economy, investment in defense, infrastructure and other sectors, to higher wages and pensions and improved relations with the international community.

According to sources interviewed by Kosovo Online, political parties use every available means during the campaign period—including the KLA.
