Actually, Albanians in the diaspora do much better than the Serbs who also live outside Serbia's borders. Just check the youth teams of Sweden, Switzerland, Germany etc. in various sports and you'd find more Albanians representing them. And these are countries with similar amounts of Albanian and Serbian immigrants. The fact that Albanians only started to immigrate to these countries in numbers in the last 10-15 years shows the competitive nature of our youth. It's a shame that many of these athletes will not represent Albania but rather their adoptive countries in international competitions. It all boils down to the amenities and sports infrastructure Serbia has in comparison to Albania.This has NOTHING to do with natural ability, otherwise you'd expect Africans to be succesfull in the sprint competitions; and they're definitely not, unless they move to the US or Europe to hone their skills. And yes Albanians are physically stronger than Serbs, we have already proven that with our numerous Boxing, Judo, weightlifting, mixed martial arts World and European Champions. Unfortunately for us the vast majority of these athletes do not represent Albania. Serbs on the other hand are more organized and disciplined as a group, hence their success in team sports.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_national_under-21_football_teamIn Sweden U21 there is only Bajrami (which sounds very Turkish to me) and he represents that "supremacy"?
Marko Marin is Serbian which one is Albanian?
Or you were thinking about U19 or U17 or U15 do you want me to check those too?
You better not. ;D ;D ;D ;D
