The Serbs were basically just some Slavic tribe, that thanks to the Romans/Byzantine and Croats, were settled in the Balkans.
Had it not been for this they would of never even stepped foot in the Balkans. Thanks to Croats and Romans/Byzantine.
Their earliest homeland, interesting enough, was recorded in the Caucasus:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SerboiThe Serboi (Ancient Greek: Σέρβοι, romanized: Sérboi) was a tribe mentioned in Greco-Roman geography as living in the North Caucasus, believed by scholars to have been Sarmatian.
Their homeland was also recorded in 'White Serbia' in Central Europe
Meanwhile the name where Albanian comes from has been mentioned in the Balkans by ancient Greek historians since before Jesus Christ
There is also inscription found dating to the Roman period in Skopje, Macedonia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlbanoiIn the archaeological record, the Albanoi and Albanopolis have been directly attested on two funeral inscriptions. The toponym Albanopolis has been found on a funeral inscription in Gorno Sonje, near the city of Skopje (ancient Scupi), present-day North Macedonia.[14] It was excavated in 1931 by Nikola Vulić and its text was curated and published in 1982 by Borka Dragojević-Josifovska. The inscription in Latin reads "POSIS MESTYLU F[ILIUS] FL[AVIA] DELVS MVCATI F[ILIA] DOM[O] ALBANOP[OLI] IPSA DELVS" ("Posis Mestylu, son of Flavia, daughter of Delus Mucati, who comes from Albanopolis"). It dates to the end of the 1st century CE and the beginning of the 2nd century CE. Dragojević-Josifovska added two lines to the existing reading: VIVA P(OSUIT) SIBI/ ET VIRO SUO. Delus Mucati is an Illyrian name and his home region was Albanopolis (domo Albanopoli). Dragojević-Josifovska proposed that like others he had settled in Macedonia from southern Illyria.[15]
Skopje was the capital of Dardania which included modern day Kosovo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dardania_(Roman_province)
Yet interesting how the Serbs claim they supposedly lived in these lands first ?
