I was born in Prishtina and will be doing DNA test soon.....
This is what we have so far for Albanians...

As per Abanians it it looks like they have over 45% of E-V13 9,000 years OLD and which is thought to be born at the same area, south east Balkans.
My guess is R1b is Celtic and came with the Roman Empire to balkans or even before.
R1b migrated from north Mesopotamia 5,000 years ago and found home in west Europe Britain Ireland etc....but it could have even came to balkans before it went to west Europe....
As per Albanians these are some current scientific facts...
Y haplogroup E1b1b (E-M35) in the modern Balkan population is dominated by its sub-clade E1b1b1a (E-M78) and specifically by the most common European sub-clade of E-M78,
E-V13.[68] The area in and around
Albanian speaking regions has the
highest known percentages E-V13 in the world, and it is thought that the majority of E-V13 in Europe and elsewhere
descend from a common ancestor who lived in the Balkans in the late Mesolithic or Neolithic, and that men of this lineage began to spread outside the Balkans as early as the Neolithic, or even as recently as the Roman era.[68][69][70][71][72][73]
In contrast, another major discovery relevant to the study of E-V13 origins was the announcement in
Lacan et al. (2011) that a
7000 year old skeleton in a Neolithic context in a Spanish funeral cave,
was an E-V13 man. (The other specimens tested from the same site were in
haplogroup G2a, which has been found in Neolithic contexts throughout Europe.) Using 7 STR markers, this specimen was identified as being
similar to modern individuals tested in Albania, Bosnia, Greece, Corsica, and Provence. The authors therefore proposed that, whether or not the modern distribution of E-V13 of today is a result of more recent events,
E-V13 was already in Europe within the Neolithic, carried by early farmers from the Eastern Mediterranean to the Western Mediterranean,
much earlier than the Bronze age.
It appeared identical at the seven markers tested to
five Albanian, two Bosnian, one Greek, one Italian, one Sicilian, two Corsican, and two Provence French samples and are thus placed on the same node of the E1b1b1a1b-V13 network as eastern, central, and western Mediterranean haplotypes (Fig. S1).
Haplogroup E-V13 is the only lineage that reaches the highest frequencies out of Africa. In fact, it represents about 85% of the European E-M78 chromosomes with a clinal pattern of frequency distribution from the southern Balkan peninsula (19.6%) to western Europe (2.5%). The same haplogroup is also present at lower frequencies in Anatolia (3.8%), the Near East (2.0%), and the Caucasus (1.8%). In Africa, haplogroup E-V13 is rare, being observed only in northern Africa at a low frequency (0.9%).
