If Albanians became a majority in those places then I am not sure.The demographics of Kosovo in the middle ages is very much debatable, certain scholars suggest that the western part always had an Albanian population and that some were Slavicized later on and were counted as Serbs I think that genetics seems to back up the fact that a lot of Kosovar Albanians were in fact in Kosovo before the clans from the highlands migrated there as certain people who belong to those clans actually have different Ydna haplogroups than the average clan member would have, suggesting that they were in fact absorbed into the clan also I find it hard to believe that Kosovo was depopulated before the Slavs came lol. As for in Macedonia, some did become Torbeshi or Bulgarian as shown by certain "Bulgarians" from the regions close to Albania having typical Albanian clades and are close to them in terms of TMRCA although not all were of Albanian origin obviously. Sanxhak Bosniaks definitely have Albanian origin mainly from the Kelmendi, Kuqi and Shkreli clans and Albanians today to believe that Sanxhak is part of ethnic Albania
