Flag of AAK - Image by António Martins, 2 May 2017
The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (website) was formed on 29 April 2001.
The flag of AAK (photo, photo) is white with the party's logo (image).
Esteban Rivera, 4 January 2017
The original party's flag (photo) was white with the red letters "AK" in the center.
The logo contains a black "shadow" which is "cast" by letter "A" onto the white field, while letter "K" is not accompanied with one. This was certainly done in order to include both of Albanian national colors into the logo. The same "shadow" also appears in the current logo, although it is not so easy to recognize it immediately, due to dark blue field.

Flag of PDK - Image by Tomislav Todorović, 29 June 2019
The PDK was founded on 14 May 1999 as the political branch of the UÇK (Kosovo Liberation Army). Originally named the Party for the Democratic Progress of Kosovo (Partia për Progres Demokratik e Kosovë, PPDK), the party adopted its current name when formally constituted, on 21 May 2000.
Chaired by Hashim Thaçi, the former commander of the UÇK, the PDK won 27.3% of the votes cast in the 2000 local elections, 28.9% in 2004 and 34.3% in 2007. On 9 January 2008, Thaçi was elected Prime Minister by the Parliament of Kosovo, which proclaimed the independence of Kosovo on 17 January 2008.
The flag of PDK (photo, 2 July 2007), is white with the emblem of the party in the middle.
Other flag of PDK - Image by Ivan Sache, 8 March 2009
The 14 November 2001 issue of Madrid's local newspaper
20 minutos de Madrid y mas shows a picture of a
Democratic Party of Kosovo demonstration with a single Albanian flag and many white
flags with the logo of the PDK, a sans-serif red
"V" and the serif black letters "PDK" (possibly in
black).
This flag is shown on a photo taken in 2007, seemingly in a polling station.

Flag of LDD - Image by Ivan Sache, 9 March 2009
The LDD was founded in January 2007 as a splinter of the Democratic
League of Kosovo (Lidhja Demokratike e Kosovës, LDK), the party once presided by the historical leader Ibrahim Rugova.
Chaired by Nexhat Daci, Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo in
2001-2006, LDD has 11 seats (ex-LDK) in the Parliament of Kosovo.
LDD merged on 30 April 2015 with the Democratic League of Kosovo.
LDD uses both the Dardania flag and a white flag with the emblem and name of the party (in Albanian on the first line, in English on the second line).
The emblem of the party is made of the three interlaced letters "L",
"D" and "D".
The seal, logo and flag of LDD were prescribed in Article 4 of the Statutes of the party, without further description.
