Is Balkan mentality closer to that of other Europeans, the Near East or a combination of the two?

Maybe it was different for Albania but there was never any connection with the Turks because even the local rulers were Albanian. Add to that our lose connection to islam it didn't affect us. I would think it should have affected you less because of the religion. So you get this vague mass of people who barely have any contact with Turks or Europeans to be influenced on for centuries. People went by instinct so that didn't allow for outside influences. The Albanian monarchy who came after Ottoman Empire tried to be European but with a local flavor nonetheless. So did communism, we were isolated except for a brief period in the 50s with the Soviet Union so not a chance to be influenced much.
All this being said, we were different with one another as well. I see a big difference in lifestyle and mentality between neighboring regions of central Albania, the ghegs just above the river Shkumbin and the tosks just below it. And forget about differences with Kosovo after they emerged from ex Yugoslavia.

Cope, and I fuck Albos.

Culturally can be understood, but in what other way mentally?

They had a Near Eastern mentality but the younger generations are slowly adopting western cuck-simp values.

I would say Serbs, Albanians, and Montenegrins are the most resistant to this change.

Sorry but what you say is totally unrealistic. Isolated on the Balkans would be probably only some Greek islands. Albanians along with Bosniaks are the most oriental on the Balkans culturally. The fact that you accepted Islam makes you totally open to the Ottomans and definitely not isolated.

Local rulers were Albanians because they copy/pasted Ottoman way of life. If they were isolated as you say, Albanians would have fought for their independence long before the Balkan wars.

You can check Greeks if you want to see other Balkanites in few decades. But still, Greeks are also very much oriental.

But they did, Ali Pashe Tepelena in the south and Bushatli in the north rebelled eventually. And turks fought them mercilessly. But they did have some autonomy before they tried to break it off. Which was the reason why it lasted so long. Things weren't that bad to warrant national uprising, they were local ones. And Albanians were greedy with personal power to get organized in a national level. The rest of you were in worse conditions that's why you fought harder.
