Serving the interest lol... Kosovo war started without caring about weather america helped or not. In Preshevo Albanians fought without any help in budj too. And Jashari family fought without help, the whole village of prekaz, where my uncles are from fought without help.. so what is this bull...

Are you joking? even before 1999 kosovo was majority Albanian. like 90%.. so there is no way there were 15% Serbs... and you talking about refugees... there were more Albanian refugees during 1999 that escaped Kosovo more than any other group

EDIT AGAIN: If that's a quote from pliny then it's not about albania in the balkans. it wasn't even called albania at that time.

Why are you mixing up things here? Arvanites was greek word to refer to Albanians, it was Albanian Christians. Souliotes = Albanian orthodox Christians. the turkish word for Albanian is Arnavut. very similar. the arvanite call themselves Arbereshe... and there are also Arbereshe in Italy, the...

I really doubt alexander the great was nordic blonde. more like light brown haired... which is considered blond in the balkans. we also have nordic blonds but it's more rare, but common among children but as they grow up they become darker, it's normal in caucasian children.

I've read many papers about this, that I didn't find again, one was called Illyrican soldiery in britain or something; but here is one I found, http://www.jogg.info/32/bird.htm also on haplogroup E in this site it says the wright brothers were EV-13, and they were originally from london area...

Hitler nor bonaparte were EV-13, but they were E, just another subclade. it was the wright brothers that were EV-13. and if i remember correctly they were from around Essex, studies have shown EV-13 to of been found there.. I read a paper that this haplogroup is believed to of arrived there from...

I have to disagree. Albanians did not cooperate with Ottomans. Many of them were converted but some of the greatest Albanian warriors who were muslims were AGAINST ottomans. for example Azem Galica. The Serbs and Greeks were on the same team as Ottomans. they even killed Albanian politicians...

Only similarities between Serbs and Albanians is that Serbs also are high in E.. a haplogroup that seems to be more common among Kosovar Albanians than any other group in the Balkans. While Kosovar Albanians lack haplogroups like R1a and I2a, common among south Slavs. I don't know about J2 in...

I don't think haplogroups has anything to do with looks. And noble people intermarried with other noble people from neighboring countries to establish a stronger relationship. And I think you're forgetting Alexander the greats mother was Epirotan. And some sources doubt that his father was...

There was a Sarmatian or Scythian tribe called Serboi that settled in todays east europe/middle europe (Poland) sarmatians also settled in ukraina and romania, I think. This Serboi tribe where they lived was called white Serbia (west serbia) and another was called white croatia, became fully...

You have to remember. Alexanders soldiers were also Thracians and Illyrians.

Lol. As I've learned, Dalmatians and Liburnians, who you are calling 'Dinaric and 'Illyrian' were not really Illyrians.. Illyrians were a tribe from todays Albania that came in contact with the Greeks, but the Greeks started using the world Ilirian to all people from the North-Balkans. So...

Russians got their name 'Rusi' from Viking tribe called Rus. I don't see how it has anything to do with the balkans, although some Swedish historians try to connect the Vikings with Thracians. And Serbs got the name 'Triballians' because of where they live... in some byzantine sources they are...

This is very interesting. Seems like allot of Caucasian people call themselves Wolves. for example Chechens identify as wolves. In Chechen Wolf means Borz.. similar to the Georgian word Ber. They call themselves Borz.

@oriental Haplgorups have nothing to do with the way you look. I know of an Albanian girl who did a genetic test and she got E-V13. She has blue eyes and light hair and you could easily confuse her for being a Swede or Norwegian.

Well, you are forgetting that there were millions of Jews in Europe before the holocaust. These Jews were Ashkenazi Jews which are high in E haplogroup. Some of them married non-jews and that's where this E might come from in Europe. Some of them immigrated to the U.S. so the Jews you have in...

I know this is about Kosovar Albanians but here is some interesting stuff I found about South-Slavs, I remember even some member here talking about this that South-Slavs originally might of originated from the border north italy, and close. around czechia.. Maybe this deserves it's own thread...

Also, I am Albanian from Kosovo. to be exact from the Drenica valley. This region has a history of resistance against Ottoman Turks and Serbs. And I wonder what result I would get if I did a genetic test. According to the map of Dardania in ancient times, the Drenica valley was located in the...

What I'm saying is the Serboi tribe from Sarmatia settled in West-Poland, they called this place white-Serbia (White: West so West Serbia) they became slavicized in culture, they stayed there assimilated, and then the Slavs moved to the Balkans.
