They had most of it already in the neolithic, unlike Albanians (or any southern Balkan people).

It's self explanatory. Iberian neolithic was very WHG-shifted anyway, they didn't get much from later migrations, they have changed less since the neolithic (probably less than anyone in Europe except Sardinians).

I have noticed a tendency of Kosovars to be darker than both Malsors and North Albanians, must be the E-V13 .
