Do Albanians look like Serbs?
"No. Of course the differences are only approximate but it is often very easy to tell a Serb from an Albanian in Kosovo long before he or she opens his mouth.
"
The Serbs often have black or dark brown hair and are generally darker and more heavily built than Albanians. Their appearance is fairly typical of southern Slavs. By contrast, the Kosovars look Celtic to a British eye. They have curly hair, which is often blonde or rust coloured, and their skin tends to be very pale and covered in freckles. Their eyes are often green or blue and their build is much more slender than that of the Serbs. They have longer heads. It is not surprising that they look so different as they belong to different races that have
very rarely intermarried." (Marcus Tanner, 'WAR IN THE BALKANS: THE
BALKAN QUESTION; KEY ISSUES BEHIND THE WAR EXPLAINED', The Independent,
