    But greeks were closer to them, there was a lot of back and forth movements during Byzantine and Ottoman empires.

    Actually, except of N. Macedonia, the rest of west Balkans was less than 500 years part of Ottoman empire.

    If it makes you happy to think that you were isolated and that the Ottoman influence was minimal, then let it be like that.

    King Zog and his sisters, 1920s. This is how we emerged from Ottoman empire. Did Bosnia have anything like it at the time?

    If they do that, they would run from themselves. Some people are aware that the most you run from somethig, the more it appears in your life.

    See the towns and the villages during that time around the Balkans - even in the twenties, they looked more or less oriental. All Balkan states demolished Ottoman buildings and tried to make their cities more European.

    Especially Albanian towns and villages in Macedonia still in the 21th century do look oriental. You see mosqu. Houses have big fences, as tradition, before it was useful as they wanted to hide the women. Albanians want to show to the others how much money they have, all of them want Mercedes, Audi, Bmw. When they work in the west and start eventually to have money, they build huge houses in their home village (doesnt matter that they go there twice in 5 years), again to show how good they are to others. These and many other things describe the typical oriental mentality.
