Native Balkanites were Hellenized in Greece. Where did I say that native Balkanites were Romanized in Greece? Greece is not Balkan, or at least not according to Greeks.
Anyways, I posted this result some time ago: Romanians are by far the closest Balkan population to Neolithic mtdna samples from Romania. Migration theory is garbage.

T.J. Winnifrith, Nobody's Kingdom: A History of Northern Albania,The Illyrians, pg 136"J. V. Fine notes that Albanian has few loan words from Greek, and that loan words from Latin show links not with the Romance languages of Western Europe nor the Dalmatian dialect once spoken along the Adriatic coast, but rather with the speech of the East Roman descendants of Latin, namely Romanian and Aromanian or Vlach. This is odd in view of the fact that the Illyrians were certainly active in coastal areas where they came into contact with the Greeks and later the Romans. The marine terminology of Albanian is derived from other languages, and this suggests that the Albanians were not a nautical people, unlike the Illyrians who terrified even the Romans by their mastery of the sea. Links between the sound system of ancient Illyrian, as conjectured from place names, and modern Albanian are hard to find. There is a gap of about five centuries between the last genuine mention of Illyrians and the first authentic reference to Albanians. During these centuries, it is argued, a new Indo-European race could have entered Albania. They would have arrived at the same time as the Slavs, though different from them. They would have come from the Danube area, and this would explain the links between Albanian and Romanian, reinforced by meeting Latin-speakers in Albania, in the same way as the Franks met Latin-speakers on the Rhine and in Gaul. French shoes few traces of the language of the ancient Gauls because this language had vanished by the time the Franks arrived. In the same way, it is argued, Illyrian would have vanished after seven hundred years of Roman rule which began earlier and finished later than in Gaul. These are strong but not irrefutable arguments."

Pretty good points. E-V13 also points to Danubian expansion. Albanians as ethnic group most likely formed somewhere in central Balkans, in transitional Illyrian-Thracian zone, somewhere around Kosovo.
They are partly Illyrian, but their Illyrian ancestors were mountain Illyrians and not coastal ones.
Coastal Illyrians were absorbed by Dalmatian Croats who continued with their nautical and pirate traditions.
Main three Albanian hgs are all Paleo-Balkan, but J2b2 clades and eastern R1b were found in ancient inhabitants of Croatia and in Illyrian tribe of southern Italy, while E-V13 was absent.
However Romanized Moesians from Serbia (Moesians were Thracian tribe) were E-V13 heavy.
So they are mix of Paleo-Balkanic tribes, Romans and Slavs mainly but everything points to their origins somewhere in interior, far from the sea and in contact with eastern Balkans and Danubian cultures as well.
They are land of the eagles, a mountain folk.

This summary is pretty on point. Thracians and Dacians came from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gáva-Holigrady_culture
which has a more northern(north of Danube) origin compared to Illyrians which are related more to western med/Balkan culture.
