Artur Krasniqi (born 9 December 1977 in Peja)[1] is a Kosovar Albanian pastor who leads the Kosovo Protestant Evangelical Church and owns the church in Downtown Pristina.

[2] Artur Krasniqi’s father, Nikë Krasniqi, born and raised a Roman Catholic, returned from military service in Croatia.

He converted to Protestantism in the army, and upon return to Kosovo started preaching the faith towards his family and friends.

After many people heard about it, on 16 June 1985 the first Protestant-evangelical church in Kosovo was inaugurated.

Then, he became a priest in the Kosovo Protestant Evangelical Church in Downtown Pristina.
