“We barely survived the Slav invasions.”
No you didn`t because you WERE NOT IN BALKANS IN V-VI CENT A.D.!!! Once and for all ALBANIANS ARE NOT DESCENDANTS OF ILLIRYANS, WHO DISSAPEARED THROUGH WARS WITH ROMANS AND LATER PEOPLES-MOVING DURING MIGRATIONS
Albanian language, genetics etc has nothing to do with Illyrians (and stil today we do not have enough information about them)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even Italians do not claim to be direct descendants of old Romans. There`s no nation in Europe who can say to be pure in race or keep same genetic, cultural, linguistic caracteristics like 2-3000 years ago.
You better start to fill your books with facts and credible sources...soon you do that, sooner you will find your real national identity without need to forge another peoples history and tradition. You have a big stock-links for this kind of BS are you. Giving DNA “proofs” without any research summary in diagrams of H-types is not even funny, because it just shows your desperate need to proove your “origins” like an excuse for grabbing more lands and shouting how you are better then any other nation in Balkans is another example of nazi-aryan-eugenic BS.
You have here a kind of summary of historical facts (of many links and history books I ran into). I suggest you read it carefully, because this is more-less what all of your neighbours can read in their history books. With what I wrote before and also about Skenderbeg, you have enough material to start to develope your thinking in right direction.
Note: “aryan” here is used as term for indo-european and does not have any political pretext.

If you prefere “lighter” tones, you have the same here but in shorter version:

It appears that Albanians are exercising their tried and tested Albanian economic model, children as currency. ( For Albanians, It's Come to This: A Son for a TV)
That's what the civilized world needs now is more criminals and backwardness. Will all Kosovar Albanians at some point in their lives be looking forward to retiring in a prison some day?
Bonly boy, you’ve never even seen Serbia.
Do you guys even hear yourselves? Screaming ethnic genocide at each other. I’m beginning to find both camps repulsive. Do you seriously think you can ethnically “cleanse” Kosovo to make it “pure” Albanian or “pure” Serb? No. In fact, with the centuries of living right next to each other, I’d bet that you, Sonny, have some Serb blood and you, Marmema (if you’re a Serb) have Albanian blood. Stretching back 3000 to 4000 years, both Albanians and Slavs come from the same Indo-European root, so sheesh.
