New Kosovo Alliance (Albanian: Aleanca Kosova e Re, AKR) is a political party in Kosovo.

The party was founded on March 17, 2006, by Behgjet Pacolli, owner of Mabetex.

Until the 17th November, 2007, New Kosovo Alliance had not taken part in any elections, however, due to the successful business background of its founder Behgjet Pacolli the party enjoyed significant support in Kosovo with the April 2007 survey of BBSS Gallup International/Index Kosova suggesting that AKR was the fourth largest political party in Kosovo with 8% support amongst those surveyed. The survey showed AKR lagging behind LDK (26%), PDK (17%), and AAK (9%).^[1]

These poll ratings were reflected at the first legislative elections since it had been founded held on 17 November 2007, the party won 12,3% of the vote and 13 seats making it the Third biggest party in Kosovo and the largest official opposition party to the coalition government of the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo, Led by Hashim Thaçi.
