Genetically, Albanians are one of the most stable populations in the Balkans – their DNA has hardly changed over 3,000 years, while other groups have been more strongly influenced by Romans, Anatolians, or Slavs.

Our paper on the origin of the Albanians was published today by Nature Human Behaviour. We invite you to read it its entirety: nature.com/articles/s4156…. We thank our co-authors for their tireless efforts, as well as each project member and collaborator for their continuous help

🇺🇸 Bloomberg, one of the most important financial news organizations: 🇽🇰 Kosovo, Europe’s youngest country, is now the continent’s trailblazer for tackling unemployment among the youth. Its youth unemployment dropped from 61% in 2014 to ≈ 10% in 2025, driven by the tech sector

Serbian war crimes

“Serbian spirit” is the spirit of rape, murder, slaughter of civilians, stealing, plunder, concentration camps (35 of them in the 90’s), and most of all - PATHOLOGICAL LIE. In the essence of every Serb lies falsehood, victimhood, and schizophrenia.

Studentët shqiptarë nga Shkupi, Kumanova, Tetova, Gostivari, Kërçova, Dibra, Struga, Ohri dhe Manastiri, të bashkuar në zemër të Shkupit, në tokën e tyre, ngrihen për drejtësi dhe barazi.

Albanian students in North Macedonia held a massive protest against being denied the right to take the bar exam in 🇦🇱 Albanian. They demanded equal language access as guaranteed by the Constitution and the Law on the Use of Languages.

Nobody trusts Serbian and Hungarian security agencies. Because they are Russian tools for so many years. Therefore, never trust their fake claims.

Serbian state now assists in a Russian operations to manupulate an EU member state election. EU must stop all of its funding for the Serbian state and end all EU accession talks with Serbia. As long as Serbia acts as a tool of our worst enemy - Russia.

Thank you for all the emotions. 🇽🇰 Chin up. The dream isn't over. It's just getting started.

Dear Team of the Embassy of the Republic of Kosova in Germany @KosovoinDe, Dear Ambassador @FarukAjeti, WizzAir continues to use the Serbian name for the capital city Prishtina on its website for flights from Germany to Kosova, a name only used before 2008. Please correct this, @wizzair, if necessary with the intervention of the Embassy.

@MartaKosEU Long overdue but better late than never.

Roaming charges are a problem across the Western Balkans. For cross-border workers and families calling loved one abroad. Surprise bills when travelling are something we no longer accept in the EU. Today, we proposed to start talks to extend this to the Western Balkans.

@burreidheut Dhe pikënisja se çdo ngjashmëri me gjuhë tjera nënkupton që shqipja (e vjetër) ka marrë e para. Kjo nuk qëndron!

@burreidheut Respekt që e ndave burimin për kinse morfologjine e këtyre dy fjalve. Prap se prap ekziston njëfarë zvogëlimi dhe nënvlerësim sistematik, shumvjeqar, ndajë gjuhës shqipe duke u nis nga perceptimi për shqiptarët që gjithmonë kanë qenë një popull i vogël dhe pa peshë!

Origin of the Albanian postponed article, demonstrative pronoun and possessive article, illustrated with the nominative case: - they ultimately share the same origin as the English article "the" and "that", German "der, die, das" and Greek "ὁ (o), "ἡ" (i), "τό" (to)".

BREAKING: Presheva Valley Discrimination Assessment Act Advances Albanians For America (AFA) is proud to announce that the Presheva Valley Discrimination Assessment Act has advanced in the U.S. Congress—an important step toward accountability and protection of ethnic Albanian rights in southern Serbia. The legislation directs the U.S. Secretary of State to prepare a comprehensive report on the treatment of ethnic minorities in Serbia, with a specific focus on ethnic Albanians in the Presheva Valley. It examines critical issues including the passivization of Albanian addresses that restrict access to identity documents and voting rights; limitations on the use of the Albanian language in public institutions; lack of proportional representation in state bodies; discrimination in education, including denial of Kosovo diplomas and shortages of Albanian-language textbooks; economic neglect through unequal government funding; and intimidation through law-enforcement practices. It also addresses the suppression of cultural symbols and the long-term sustainability of life for Albanians in the region. This milestone reflects the strong partnership between Albanians For America and our congressional champion, Keith Self, whose leadership and commitment made this legislation possible. Through sustained advocacy, research, and engagement on Capitol Hill, AFA worked closely with his office to ensure that the concerns of ethnic Albanians in the Presheva Valley are formally recognized by the United States Congress. We extend our sincere appreciation to Brian Mast, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, as well as to Ranking Member Gregory Meeks, and the members of the Committee for their leadership, attention, and commitment to advancing human rights and democratic values in the Western Balkans. Their support is essential to ensuring these issues receive the serious consideration they deserve. What comes next: Once the bill passes committee markup, it will be reported out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and sent to the full U.S. House of Representatives for a vote. If passed, it moves to the U.S. Senate. Should the Senate pass the same version, the bill will be sent to the President for signature. If amended, a joint House–Senate conference committee will reconcile differences before final passage. If enacted, the law will require the U.S. State Department to report to both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee within 180 days—elevating these human rights concerns to the highest levels of U.S. foreign-policy decision-making.
