It looks like some commentors misunderstood your question and thought you were asking why so many Albanians migrated out of the country, not *how* so many of them migrated, i.e. how did so many of them visas and residencies. I think the answer is similar for all non-EU Balkan countries. After the Second World War West Germany underwent a period of economic revival called Wirtschaftswunder. Germany needed a lot of workers to rebuild itself and to satisfy the demand for labor they invited guest workers from Southeast Europe to fulfill that. In fact many countries in Western Europe had their first wave of foreign immigration in this period - Britain received its first immigrants from the West Indies, France from the Maghreb and West Africa, Germany from the Balkans, etc. Those workers eventually made connections with each other and established themselves in their host countries. The heyday of the Balkan criminal underworld was the 70s and 80s. Arkan, a notorious Serbian gangster, was known to have committed petty crimes with his gang all over Western Europe at this time. Then came the Yugoslav Wars in the 90s when people massively applied for asylum. By the 2000s a lot of Balkan people already had hundreds of thousands of family members and businesses abroad who could sponsor them. That's actually the most common way to immigrate to America - having a close family member who sponsors you. It's a domino effect. Albanians have big families so they're able to immigrate in large numbers because of that. There's also special programs like the Westbalkanregelung that makes it easier for people from the West Balkans to find a job in Germany.

Made by Serbs from Krajina /j

Serbia is titanic in that regard. Whenever I look at the credits of a lot of major games published in the last 10 years I see a looot of Serbian names

Showerhead Duschkopf Douchekop Golovka duša Glava duša

I think they would find having a deep philosophical discussion actually easier because of all the terminology that derives from Latin and Greek lol

Zaboravil ste /s

You know what they call a showerhead? "Prha" lol

Fwiw the Slavic languages are so mutually intelligible that a 16th century German diplomat by the name of Siegmund von Herberstein was able to get around in Moscow with just his Slovene interpreter

While the rudeness is inexcusable the Slovene clearly understood what the bus driver was saying

I understood everything the Slovene said and I never studied Slovenian

I understood 100% of this and I never studied Slovenian lol

Perhaps they will return to the more familial customs of their ancient Germanic forefathers

Isn't that how they used to do it in Sweden? The young couple moves into the main house and the elderly parents move into a small house somewhere nearby, possibly even on the same plot as the main one?

When I was abroad people often assumed I'm from England. Probably because of the way I dress, I got a lot of tips for my dressing style from one of my English friends

More like the Warsaw Pact

That's what the term autochthonous literally means lol. Some nationalists took a term out of Greek mythology about people literally arising out of the ground to describe their people 

Then you should include Belgrade and Zemun.

That is what the Hague deemed fit for him

I see a lot of Turks in Serbia, never saw so many before. What's happening?

The typa shit that makes you hesitate to say you're a Serb

Maybe when we were kids. But when I became an adult I realized I wouldn't be any different. Most Americans practically live a life of luxury, why would they care about some random countries in Eastern Europe? Their country alone is almost the size of Europe. They can see so much without ever having to leave America. 

Truth nuke from Albania

BosniaKs might not. Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats would probably be fine with it.

That's also true. Russian girls tend to be more materialistic

Yeah, but as I've said Serbian girls seem more closed. Just look at how stark the difference is between Russian and Serbian girls. Talking to Russian girls is way easier and you don't have to work as hard for one to open up about her inner life as you would with a Serbian girl.

Dating is more of a gamble in the Balkans. You could spend a lot of time on one girl that takes a while to open up and then when you find out you're actually not compatible you realize you spent a lot of time and effort for nothing

It's not about effort. It's about reciprocity and receptivity.

Why would I try dating a Serbian guy? I like women.

I heard from a couple of Serbs that dating girls is much easier abroad than in Serbia. They say Serbian girls are more closed and judgmental compared to foreign girls.

Should Turkey pay reparations then?

Maybe he's a self-hating Serb pretending to be a Slovene

I think he meant to say "if Tito never split with Stalin would Serbs harbor an animosity towards Russia similarly to other Eastern Europeans whose countries were in the Warsaw Pact"

They're southeastern Europeans.

The only real difference I've seen is with using the 'ś' letter in words like 'śutra', but I think that was a recent orthographic Innovation that Montenegrin grammarians concocted. Aside from that I can't think of anything that could be interpreted as substantial

This is the first time I'm hearing about "Banat Bulgarian".

That's a difference in legal terminology really.

Unlikely. Dialects arise largely because of distance and lack of intercommunication. The internet has turned out to be the greatest destroyer of dialects. There's lot of examples. Younger Austrians are allegedly sounding more like their German brethren, for instance.

To be frank, I understand this much better than Macedonian. Slovenian has always been easier for me, probably because I also speak Russian.

This is why people prefer talking to ai

Like what, their clothing? Wouldn't most of it be gone by then? I'm asking you because I want to know the logic behind your claims

How do you know who they were? They could have been random servants who simply happened to come from the Pre-Greek population.

That's not the Balkans. Neither Attica nor the Peloponnese are included, but Moldova for some reason is? We have a perfectly adequate term that includes the regions which are technically outside the Balkans, but belong to the same wider area as the Balkans do. It's called "Southeast Europe" (de. "Südosteuropa"). And Hungary should be included in that, not Moldova.

Albanians are already Muslims in the real world

But you're already Muslim in the OTL

Travel by plane.

That's a lot of shit.

It's exactly the same in Serbia with the only exception being that high school is not mandatory.

My hair would quickly get greasy if it was covered like that. I'd get tired from the everyday washing.

I would be more surprised if there were more people who haven't heard of him.
