Ibrahim Rugova (December 2, 1944 - January 21, 2006) was the President of Kosovo and its leading political party, the Democratic League of Kosovo. He was born in in Cerrcë, Kosovo.
During the many conflicts in Kosovo he advocated peaceful means of resistance and of bringing about change. He was one of the founders of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) after Serbian President Slobodan Miloevię had Kosovo's autonomy abolished in the spring of 1989. Ethnic Albanians declared independence, and began forming their own, unrecognized government, providing services that were not provided by the Serbian government, such as health care and Albanian-language education. He steadfastly refused to engage with the Serb authorities throughout the 1990s.
In 1998, Ibrahim Rugova was awarded the Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought.
During the Kosovo War in 1999, he and his family were kidnapped at his residence in Pristina. Later he was shown on Serbian television holding talks with the Serbian leader Slobodan Miloevię. It has been asserted that this appearance was made, against his will, under the coercion of the Miloevię regime.
As leader of the LDK, he was elected President of Kosovo in March 4, 2002.
In office, Rugova has pursued a policy of very close relations with the United States, also with European Union.
On March 15, 2005, Rugova escaped unhurt when a bomb exploded in a dustbin as his car passed by.
On August 30, 2005, Rugova left Kosovo and went to the United States Air Force Landstuhl Air Base in Germany for medical treatment after earlier treatment in Pristina and Camp Bondsteel, the main US base in Kosovo. After a week at Landstuhl he returned to Kosovo. On September 5, 2005, he announced that he was suffering from lung cancer, but said that he would not be resigning from the post of President. On January 21, 2006, Rugova died after losing his battle with cancer.
