No kid, you're chasing your tail. Why is Berisha not R1a, N1c, Q1e, etc....? Why it happened to be a E-V13 and not something else?
Because they were Albanian.
He is somewhat obsessed with Berisha tribe, but before the Ottoman Empire this clan/family was far more powerful than after, its only the Berisha clan who had balls to fight Mahmud Pashe Begolli and eventually kill him at a heavy cost, the beylerbeyler of Balkans (i read from people that he might have been himself a Berish, or Bardh). It's lesser known related Sopi clan (they thought they were related with Thaqi and Bytyqi which resulted not truth), who became a major line in Nish, Toplic and Vranje had as much as boom as Berisha if not greater than. This particular clan has traditions of greatly prospering from Ottoman militantism not the Berishas who suffered and were forced to migrate/split into mainly highlands.
And no, the Berisha doesn't constitute the majority of E-V13 in Kosove, both Berisha-Sop consitute a good deal, but E-V13 L241, E-V13 FGC11450 has diversity as well and presence.
As for J2b2-L283 in Kosove, it's overhelmly a recent founder effect from Krasniqi and Gashi tribe. Though Hoti, Kastrati and Korbi have a good deal, but nowhere near the amount of Krasniqi and Gashi.
