Kosovar Egyptian and Ashkali

[Skerdilaid]

What i find bizarre is that they have taken our Clan names as last names, and the sole reason for this is the Yugoslav state that actually gave them our Clan names as last names. Check out the dude with last name Hoti.........
They seem to be in big number in Gjakova and Ferizaj.

Yes very common in Prizren for Ashkalis to have surnames such as Gashi and Kastrati. They adopt popular surnames
My auntie wanted me to marry a guy from an Albanian Kastrati family in Prizren and his family looked totally different - all blondes - you see the difference.

I know quite a bit in Fushkosova with the last name Krasniqi

i think thats century old, not from tito. because i dont know any roma in europe who has a original indian name, in england they have english names like bosswell for example. or english sounding names which are specific to roma clans, similar as jews have german sounding names like rosenbaum etc.

Yugoslavia prior to Tito enforced last names in the population of Kosova, this happened after the occupation of the region, and last names were introduced after 20s. There is no way in hell prior to those days a Roma to carry an Albanian Clan name!

ok i dont know about clan names, but roma have names sounding similar to the population they reside in, but you might be right about clan names etc. so they were forced to integrate by a government etc. and adopt the identity now they are forced to segregate and people hate them because they think they are albanians etc.

Hoti, Krasniqi, Gashi, Berisha were all warlike Clans, and quite traditional before WW2. They adopted these Clan names to fit in basically, and were also given to them by the Serbian authorities during those days. Just like they Slavicised quite a bit of our last names, but to me this is insane and bizarre at the same time, because only the Albanians that decent from these Clans carry sometimes such last names.


People hate them for what they are, and not because they think they are Albanians!

Some do, but they also have their own communities that our sponsored by our government, as seen in the video I posted. In Ferizaj for example they even have their own political party:http://paiks.webs.com/

and your government is sponsored by the usa, the whole idea of kosovo is a western idea and project, without them you couldnt survive at all etc. and im sure ethnic albanians get much more foreign aid then roma. also i think roma shouldnt get all for free, they need to learn that you need to work and learn and be productive to earn your living etc. handouts are not the solution, but specific donations to projects like roma education or such where it is really needed because those organisations lack the resources is neccessary.
