The second part strongly reminded me of northern macedonia, with which Albania shares more history than with any other country in the world.

With that saying, Serbia and Greece, have more Western influences, and that partially has to do with lesser history under Ottos and lesser influence by them

Some Albanians can be close to some Greeks.

But no no, they are more closer to Serbs and Italians.
