Following a self-organised plebiscite not recognised by Belgrade or any foreign government, Kosovo Albanian intellectual and writer Ibrahim Rugova -- the founder of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) -- was elected president of the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo in May 1992.
Nakon samoorganiziranog referenduma kojeg Beograd nije priznao, kao ni bilo koja strana vlada, kosovski intelektualac i pisac Ibrahim Rugova -- utemeljitelj Demokratskog saveza Kosova (DSK) -- izabran je u svibnju 1992. za predsjednika samoproglašene Republike Kosovo.
