	Ali Ahmeti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ali Ahmeti (born January 4, 1959) is the political leader of the Democratic Union for Integration (Bashkimi Demokratik për Integrim), a coalition partner in the Macedonian government, despite having once been charged with terrorism from the same government.
		Ali Ahmeti is also known as the political spokesman for the former National Liberation Army (NLA).
		In September 2002, DUI won the elections among Albanian parties in Macedonia and Ali Ahmeti was elected as a deputy in the Macedonian Parliament.

		August the government in Skopje revealed the existence of an arrest warrant against Ali Ahmeti, the president of one of the main political parties representing the country’s Albanian minority the Democratic Union for Integration (PDI).
		The latter does not recognise Ali Ahmeti’s legitimacy whom he was obliged to support after the UCK won the open support of the Albanian speaking population.
		Ali Ahmeti’s Union for Integration (PDI) takes the lead in all polls and maintains a moderate tone insisting on Macedonian integration into the EU — it deliberately leaves the Albanian speaking population’s nationalist claims to one side.

		Ahmeti and his followers believed that it was not necessary for them to establish a political party of their own, although according to a majority of assessments it would have certainly won this year's parliamentary elections.
		Ahmeti’s idea on refreshing the ranks of Albanian politicians with new uncompromised persons is naturally irritating for those who will lose their political positions and the possibility of taking advantage of the privileges that come as the result.
		Ali Ahmeti appears to be an optimist, trying to create the impression that he is not readily abandoning what he intended to do.

	Once a rebel, now a reformer \| csmonitor.com
		A year ago Ali Ahmeti was a reviled man, the shadowy leader of a few thousand ethnic Albanian guerrillas fighting in the mountainous areas of northern and western Macedonia.
		Ahmeti's transformation from rebel to reformer is a measure of the progress that has been made in Macedonia in the past year.
		He is a slight, stooped, soft-spoken man with a manner that projects neither the bravado of a military commander nor the ease of a seasoned politician.
