Agree 100% with deki.... Every albanian I have seen/met here in Aus looked dark and some even arabic looking.... compare that to Crnogorci, who by and large are a lot fairer than Albanians.. Crnogorci do not look anything like Albanians, maybe some tribes in Crna Gora and Albania have some links, and therefore some may look alike, but on a whole, we do not look alike nor are we as similar as some (Terroreign and co.) like to think....

So because you say it, its a fact right?, ok i get it, so it's also a fact that half of Serbia has Montenegrin Ancestory, so that means Serbs look like Albanians too right?

I would honestly say that at least half of Serbia has Montenegrin ancestory or some Montenegrin connection. So what you are saying in general is that Serbs, Montenegrins who are Slavs, look like Albanians.

I do not know which "Albanians" you've met or whether you're just a biased liar. But Albanians aren't "Arab looking" -- no more than Montenegrins. Infact, Montenegro is renown for having quite a brunet population. The immediate association one makes when hearig 'Montenegrin' is tall & dark. From my personal experience (I have been to Montenegro as well as to Albania/Kosova/W.Macedonia) the Albanians (especially Kosovars and South Albanians) are generally lighter than Montenegrins, as are the Serbs. P:s another Albanian highlander, the nearly 7 feet tall Prek Cali;

Not that I care much for having anything in common with Montenegrins .... but tell me, since you seem to be a professional, what unmistakable difference you see between the Albanian and Montenegrin/Bosnian-Serb teams ... perhaps I am blind, but the difference doesn't strike me as substantial ... except that the Prishtina team looks more handsome.

You are right from all the photo's there is not much difference, apart from you finding the Pristina team more attractive[joke].
But im talking about my experience and im just stating that i don't think Albanians look like Montenegrins, sorry it just my opinion.

There probably are differences; afterall, we're speaking about TWO different populations. Infact, Montenegro as a region has developed its own speciality which sets it apart from even their own Serbian brethren. But this still doesn't justify exaggeratios ... such as looking "nothing alike" or we looking like "Arabs". We, who are from the Balkans, may have an easier task to detect who's who ... but an outsider will just laugh at your comments.

I am not a liar... Some albanians went to the same school I did and most were dark and arab/turk looking... one of them was actually blond hair and blue eyes, but the rest looked like arabs.. Maybe they have some turkish ancestory, I don't know, but they called themselves Albanians

Well, I've seen some pretty dark, "Turkish" looking Serbs as well. There's even a term in Kosova, "shka magjup" (Gypsy Serb) which is used to describe certain Serbs with Gypsy characteristics. But that doesn't necessarely justify generalizations. As you can see from the above taken pictures, the "major" differences don't seem too grande, do they?

Donnie i never said you looked like Arabs, or even passed comment on what albanians look like at all, it would be ludicrous to generalise like that, i just said that i didn't think we looked alike, i agree with your comments totally otherwise.

Don't worry about donnie, he thinks his facts are facts. This is for you donnie, if you acuse one more person of being a liar without proof, your gone.

montenegrodeki is not only my opinion but also scholars say (Coon, Durham, Tomisic, Civjic ect) that montes and albs look similarity racialy and ethnography (of course not 100%)...look pic of Zeta team...majority of those faces you can find all aroud North Albania and Kosova.
