The Party of Albanian National Union (UNIKOMB - Partia e Unitetit Kombëtar Shqiptar) is a small extremist political party in Kosovo, a Serbian province currently under UN administration. It advocates the creation of a Greater Albania encompassing parts of Serbia and Montenegro, Greece and the Republic of Macedonia.^{[citation needed]}

At the last legislative elections, on 24 October 2004, the party was part of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, in which it won one seat.

The founder and current co-leader of the party, Ukshin Hoti, was a member of a terrorist organization and subsequently arrested by the Serbian police during the 1990s.^{[citation needed]} Hoti disappeared in the Spring of 1999, during the NATO bombing of Serbia in the Kosovo War. Albanian nationalists claim he was murdered by the police. His body is still missing to this day and he remains an icon in the Greater Albanian movement, particularly among the members of the Albanian National Army.
