[Tanush]

''The Muslim population of the towns seems to have been mainly Albanian: Pjeter Mazrreku's reference to the Albanian Muslims of Prizren has already been noted, and a similar impression is given by Evliya Qelebi's account of the administrative town of Vucitern, where, he said, the population (2,000 houses) did not speak 'Bosnian' (SerboCroat), but only Albanian and Turkish. The distribution of the Serbian Orthodox is a little harder to specify; the Catholic reports mention the Orthodox in towns where Catholics lived, but take little interest in Orthodox peasants.. .
villages’. One report of 1577 stated that on the five-day journey from the Albanian port of Lezha to Novo Brdo the first four days were through Catholic territory, and only the last through Orthodox. We know that the equivalent journey from Shkodra to Prishtina via Prizren took forty-five hours of travel, with the last stretch, from Prizren, lasting eleven or twelve; at a calculation of nine hours' travel per day, this suggests that the transition from Catholic to Orthodox took place a few hours' journey to the east of Prizren. 93 But of course there would also have been Orthodox villages in the western part of Kosovo too.

[Tanush]

These 16th century registers show Serbs as a minority in Kosova in many areas . Especially taking into consideration majority of the Muslim converts were Albanians . Serbs appear as a minority in the town of Peja (with only pockets of the region still having majority Slavic but significant Albanian minority) and all the evidence suggests the people in the town of Peja were Orthodox Albanians or Christian Albanian who then converted to Islam, Plains of Dukagjin (Metohija) Serbs are a minority in the 16th century, Prizren Serbs are also a minority except for some pockets outside , Prishtina most Muslims were Albanians too , Vushtrri , Opoja (possibly some Slavic Muslims but mostly Albanian) etc . By the 17th century it comes increasingly appearent that the Serb population in Kosova was mostly located in the Eastern parts

 

[Tanush]

The evidence also shows people who bore Slavic names in these territories weren't neccessarily all Slavs

Thanks for researching this. If you can set up a rigorous methodology you might wanna team up with fellow researchers and publish something in a more serious medium.
