You are confusing Albanians with Kosovars. They do NOT like each other and have virtually no connection. Albanian's living in albania do not wish to interact at all with Kosovar Albanians.

Long before the crap hit the fan in Kosovo I worked with a woman from Albania here in Chicago. It was 1994 and I had just gotten back from Kosovo. She was very adament about me not equating Kosovo Albanians with Albanians from Albanian. She went on and on about her disdain for Kosovo Albanians (I won't repeat what she said here because much of it was over-generalized and borderline racist). It was at that time that I realised that there were vast differences between Kosovo Albanians and those from the homeland. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised. The differences between Croatian Serbs, Bosnian Serbs, Kosovo Serbs and Belgrade Serbs is often as different as Kentucky Americans, California Americans and New York Americans.

You'd never know it by reading the official line by America's corporate media, State Department reports, or Free Republics resident Serbophobes though.

Yeah, that's why the KLA was being supported and given safe haven in Albania.
