Albanians have almost nothing in common with the Serbs, they speak a totally different language, they have a different culture and well, they hate each other.
The Serbs came to the Balkans in the 6th-8th century because of Mongol tribes displacing indigenous Slaves in norther and eastern Europe. At that time most of the Balkans was held by Illyrian (Albanian ancestors) , Greece and Roman tribes. Many tribe wars happened between illyrians and Slaves, but it would be to much to fully describe them at this point. After a long time, and after today's Albanian and Serbian nations were created, the Byzantine Empire which gave the slaves a place to live in today's Bosnian/Serbian territory was replaced by an other empire, the Ottomans (Turks). While Serbians still expanded because of different warlords as leaders, the Ottoman empire helped them financially and militarily to secure the Serbian/ Austro-Hungarian borders.It was a vital interest of the Ottoman empire to secure this part of their territory and the Serbs played their role. During this time most of the Albanians territories were split into different districts. Most historians think this happened because the Serbs demanded it. At this point in time the Albanians began to hate (and I mean REALLY hate) the Serbians. Not just because of what they did, but also because of what they didn't, the Albanians were fighting the Ottoman Empire all the time until 1478.
At this point I'll quote Wikipedia: &quot;One of the most successful resistance against the invading Ottomans was led by Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg from 1443 to 1468. In 1443 he rallied Albanian forces and drove the Turks from his homeland. For 25 years Skanderbeg kept the Turks from retaking Albania, which due to its proximity to Italy, could easily have served as a springboard to the rest of Europe.&quot; You should also know that until 1478 most Albanians were Christian.
The mess continued after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire. The Albanian territories were still split and mostly leaderless due to Ottoman shortness. While Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Italy on the other side were stronger than ever. So the reoccupation began...but this time a lot of forces wanted different parts of the cake. The aftermath was terrible, all of the above mentioned did terrible crimes (massive massacres, persecutions, and pretty much genocide). At some point in time (1912) the Albanians decided to end this, at least partially, they created a state against the will of WHOLE Europe and all neighbors, and today's Albania was created. But there where still millions of other Albanians outside the borders, and the only ones who didn't flee behind the mountains into Albania were the people of Kosova and a lot of Albanians in Macedonia.

You know the rest of the story, The Serbs wanted an &quot;end solution&quot; for their &quot;Albanian problem&quot; and the genocide and war began again. But this time the Albanians were prepared and had created the Kosova Liberation Army + they had the U.S. on their side (not because of the genocide, but because of their strategic territorial interests).
And now you have de facto a second Albanian state in Europe (which is totally ridiculous).
