The National Liberation Army (Albanian: Ushtria Çlirimtare Kombëtare - UÇK ; Macedonian: ОÑлободителна национална армија - ОÐÐ), also known as the Macedonian UÇK, was an insurgent guerilla organization that operated in the Republic of Macedonia from 1999-2001. Although linked with the Kosovo Liberation Army (Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës), with which it shared initials and a very similar name, it was officially a separate organization. The collaboration of the groups, however, implicitly suggested that they were one in the same, and with the same goal of forming a Greater Albania.
