==Mission==
The establishment of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency (KIA), which Mr. Smakaj will be heading, was announced several months ago, but no Director had been named until last Wednesday. The reason for the delay has been attributed to bickering between the two political parties that form the country’s coalition government: the Democratic Party of Kosovo, of Prime Minister [[Hashim Thaci]], and the Democratic League of Kosovo of President [[Fatmir Sejdiunce]]. <ref>http://intelligencenews.wordpress.com/2009/02/10/02-59/</ref>
AKI mission is to identify threats detrimental to the security of Kosovo. A threat to the security of Kosovo shall in any event be considered a threat against the territorial integrity, integrity of the institutions, the constitutional order, the economic stability and development, as well as threats against global security detrimental to Kosovo.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A K I |url=http://aki-rks.org/HTML_ENG/mission.html}}</ref>
