Norid-Faelid mostly. I don't think he has a look that fits in the Balkans generally but he'd fit among Albanians specifically.

He surely wouldn't look out of place in Kosova. Another German national football team player I think could pass for an Albanian is Miroslav Klose.

In the 5th pic from the top he looks like a Syrian friend of mine.

I hope your Syrian friend has a better nose.

My friend is blonde haired and blue eyed. He looks identical to the 5th pic. Very similiar skin tone too.
He tells me that the "original" Arabs were in fact blonde haired and blue eyed. I dont know much about that history. I first thought he was Welsh or Brit of some kind when we first met.

Bullshit they're is no Arabic race, but yes I can believe he's Syrian and having blonde hair and blue eyes the Arabian Gulf Arabs first were there then you get South West Asians like Persians and Kurds etc then you get the West Asians who are Levantines Lebanese Syrians Turks Armenians Circassians Georgians etc that would mean that as West Asians we cluster with the Near East and South Eastern Europe because West Asia had the Ottomans/Byzantines there. I could say more about it but perhaps study Polo's or Coons work

This is why classification is tricky. Depending on what you look for, the answer can suit anyones need/beleif.

You evolve exactly where you are located, see I am a West Asian because I am partly Lebanese of a Turkish descent mother and her family came from South Eastern Europe mainly the Balkans and also the Near East therefore I am standardly Near Eastern West Asian and South Eastern European at the same time.

People have mistaken me for in the past Italian Greek and Spanish etc but I noticed the European ethnicities people have mistaken me for were only Southern European or South Eastern European and nothing elese. So your ''friend'' although being Levantine in which he is correct that he is West Asian is also incorrect in the sense that original tribes like that come from the Arabian Gulf or that they are true Arabs no true Arab would have the blonde hair or blue eyes.

Fair enough, as I said Middle-East history is out of my league/interest.
Personally, I have been mistaken for all the latin nations (Italian/Spain/French), Argentinan, across the board etc... In Serbia, they say I look typical, and those closer to me say I look more Montenegrin.
It's pretty random.

You would have to upload a pic to be honest. Can some Montenegrin look more Southern then Eastern European?

dont have a pic handy (my avatar is me lol), but I will repost in the near future, I am always curious.
Montenegrins have broad foreheads and strong cheekbones (from my experience).

Some Serbian girl's cousin uploaded a picture and she looked like me also she was Alpine Med but I don't know if she was Montengrins I think there can be Pontids in Eastern Europe but not as much as North Greece or Albania or Bulgaria
