>>>Seems it is more thrilling to quarrel with Greeks, Macedonians and Serbs about appropriated history and create bad blood than spend time in building ecconomic links, culural excnage and Balkan goodwill.
Three wars were fought in the Balkans during the last decade, only one nation was involved in all three of them and it was not Albania. Check out some sources other than emperorsclothes and srpskamreza from time to time

>>>So, I do not know what this discussion was all about. I talk of facts, you talk of myth.
Throwing the rock and then hiding your hand? The conversation started when you said:
"Sadly, the best product of Albania is falsification of history (i.e. claim of Shqip being descendants of Illyrians) supported by the brazen theft of historical heritage of Serb and Hellenic people."
Which is neither a true nor a constructive argument. What I have tried to show you is that while inconclusive, the data supports established history over your "Caucasian Albania" silliness. But I am more than content with leaving history to the historians, as long as I don't see a blatantly false and incendiary statement like the one above.
However I know this does not stop here. I have read enough of your posts to know that you are going to keep trying to belittle and denigrate.
Neither of us are history makers as we are not the ones who write the textbooks or creates the policies. We are just pawns.
