Ancestors of Albanians were some tribe in the mountains of present day Bulgaria. The Bulgarian emperor moved them in the territory of present day Albania, from where they started to spread to the north during Ottoman rule. There is no close genetic similarity between Albanians and indigenous populations of Serbia. Totally different branches of R1b, J2b, while E1b was widespread across the whole Europe. That haplogroup was indeed spread from South - Eastern Europe to the rest of Europe during prehistory, but of course it is not only Albanian marker.
