PVD; {{langx|sr|Партија за демократско деловање|Partija za demokratsko delovanje}}, abbr. PDD) is a political party in Serbia, representing the Albanian ethnic minority. It is currently led by Shaip Kamberi.

History

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.[https://www.albaniandailynews.com/index.php?idm=39784&mod=2 Albania daily news][https://punetejashtme.gov.al/en/cakaj-takon-arifin-me-qendrim-te-unifikuar-do-ta-bejme-me-te-mire-luginen-e-presheves/ punetejashtme]
