Are Serbs closer to Albanians or to Russians?

Do you have brain? It is not important is E1b exclusively Albanian, the point is that E1b is every time closer to other E1b than to R1a. And Serbs and Albanians have bunch of E1b, while Russians not so much.

Yes I have brain. Rest is bullshit read again.

Serbs from BiH have 13.6% E1b, I posted statistic few days ago. Serbs from Serbia have around 16% E1b. On the other hand Albanians from Kosovo are close to 50% E1b, and Albanians from Albania around 30%.

Even if we were closer to Albanians, the general population feels closer to Russians.
Regardless of the mutual negative feelings and animosity tho, Albanians have unique culture and mentality, they are not that close to Greeks eather.
I would say that in a way closest population to them in every way would be Sandzaklije and Bosniaks. Sandzaklije due to the ancestry, religion and proximity and Bosniaks mostly due to the religion

Yea, Sandžakians are predominatly islamized Malesor Albanians who settled in Raška in first half of 18th century from northern Albania and Gusinje-Plav area.
Melesor ancestors of Sandžakians arrived in Raška as Catholics 1700-1730, they converted on Islam in period of 20-30 years after the migration in Raška.

Russians. Language, religion, genetics. You have some Serbs who are phenotypically and genetically closer to Albanians though. Mostly the Southern Serbs and Montenegrin Serbs.

In real life identity matters the most, so they're closer to Russians. Phenotypes and genetics are considered important only on this forum.

I'm equally close as well but closer to Poles, Germans and French than to Albanians. These distances are interesting considering geographical closeness with Albanians but not equal closeness in autosomal.

And closer to west Ukrainians.
I'm equally close to Albanians as to British for example.
This is interesting considering geographical closeness, that sharp difference between Montenegro and Albania closeness in my case. Montenegro fully close, Albania close as much as eg Britain.

Don't forget that Albanians have some Slavic genetics as well.

nope to the Irish and Anglo culture wise. Separated by Jewish churches. Come home!

[RenaRyuguu]

but then Russians and some Albos are also Serb so come live here it's really cheap. and Romanians are also Serb...

[The Blade]

Culturally it's Russians by far.
Phenotypically they are more similar to Croats, Bosniaks, Bulgarians or Romanians than to any of these two.
