It would derive its name from one of the main core marxist organizations that formed LPK, National-Liberation Movement of Kosovo and other Albanian Regions (Albanian: Lëvizja Nacional-Çlirimtare e Kosovës dhe të Viseve tjetra Shqiptare në Jugosllavi, LNÇKVSHJ), founded in February 1978 by Metush Krasniqi, Jusuf Gërvalla and Sabri Novosella.

[3][4] Just like LPK, the LKCK faction advocated the concept of Natural Albania and military action against the Milošević administration, but contrary to the pacifist policies of the dominant Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and what it perceived as similar tendencies to moderation inside the LPK.

After imprisonment of Avni Klinaku by Yugoslavian authorities, Bahri Fazliu would take charge as the leader.

Fazliu would join Kosovo Liberation Army during the war and fall on May 7, 1998, somewhere in the former border between Albania and Yugoslavian Federation.

[6] The LKCK was initially part of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, despite the latter's centre-right political position.
