All I know is that Albanians have been in the Balkans since history began. Maybe a few miles to the east, west, south, north or whatever. There you go again with the "Caucasian Mountains" theory. Scroll back a few posts and you'll see where I posted this:

"No significant difference was observed between Albanians and most other Europeans, despite the fact that Albanians are clearly different from all other Indo-Europeans linguistically. We observe a general lack of genetic structure among Indo-European populations for both maternal and paternal polymorphisms, as well as low levels of correlation between linguistics and genetics, even though slightly more significant for the Y chromosome than for mtDNA. Altogether, our results show that the linguistic structure of continental Indo-European populations is not reflected in the variability of the mitochondrial and Y chromosome markers. This discrepancy could be due to very recent differentiation of Indo-European populations in Europe and/or substantial amounts of gene flow among these populations."
Regarding age: 8000 years ago a certain haplotype, E3b1a2, was formed IN the Balkans and spread all over Europe, and even Turkey. Its center is Kosovo.
When you guys use such idiocy you only help Albanians.
babayaga, do you still sing those gusle songs about the the motherland left behind, Russia that is. Iran is too far to remember.
With what I wrote before and also about Skenderbeg,
Let me guess, he's a Serb? So far Bulgarians, FYROMs, the new "Greeks" (Giorgios Castriotis) and now the Serbs claim him. Why haven't you honored this 'Serb' hero with a statue then? We all can agree Lazar is joke compared to him.
