==History== The Party for Democratic Action (PVD) was established on the 19th of August 1990 in the [[Preševo Valley]], its founders include figures like [[Riza Halimi]], Selajdin Abdiu, Behlul Nasufi, Ramadan Ahmeti and Rexhep Hasani<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sadullahu |first=Nexhat |title=Rrjedhat e formimit të PVD-së |publisher=Vatra |year=2012 |isbn=978-9951-441-71-1 |edition=1st |location=Prishtinë |pages=99–100 |language=sq |trans-title=The flows of the founding of PVD}}</ref>

At the latest [[2016 Serbian parliamentary election|legislative election]] in 2016, the party received one seat in [[National Assembly (Serbia)|parliament]], a drop from its peak of two seats in [[2014 Serbian parliamentary election|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.<ref>[https://www.albaniandailynews.com/index.php?idm=39784&mod=2 Albania daily news]</ref><ref>[https://punetejashtme.gov.al/en/cakaj-takon-arifin-me-qendrim-te-unifikuar-do-ta-bejme-me-te-mire-luginen-e-presheves/ punetejashtme]</ref>
