No, you are wrong, no Byzantine Empire took the Slavs out of Albania. In the chronicle of Monemvasia the governor of Corinth exterminated the Slavs, and let the Greeks return to their homes. Nothing is to be said about Albania.

Epirus Vetus was a popular stomping ground for barbarians

Visigoths, Huns, and Ostrogoths had their fun until 461 AD... then Avars attacked in 570; and then South Slavs were allowed to settle in 7th century.
In the Strategikon and De Administrando Imperio explained the settlement process allowed by Byzantine Emperors and Generals guarding the northern imperial lands.
There were deportations to Minor Asia to boost military numbers when they decided to get frisky.
BTW no mention of Illyrians nor Albanians in De Administrando Imperio nor in the Strategikon.
