Shqipëria natyrale - Ethnic Albania

Shqipëria natyrale është krejt hapësira gjeografike shqipfolëse, ku banojnë shqiptarët sot me shumicë, ku është vendlindja e shqiptarëve me shumicë dhe ku u dëbuan nga vendbanimet e tyre etnike. 

Ethnic Albania is a term used primarily by Albanians to denote the territories as the traditional homeland of the ethnic Albanians. In addition to the existing Albania, the term incorporates claims to regions in the neighbouring states, the areas include Kosovo and the Presheva Valley, territories in southern Montenegro (Ulqin, Tuzi, Plava) northwestern Greece (Preveza, Janina, Arta) referred by Albanians as Chameria and a part of western Macedonia (Tetova, Struga, Shkupi).

It's not possible to talk about Albanian history without talking about war. That's the reason why there are so many proverbs like this one quoted in the picture above.

The Albanians are well known for the wars they had to endure throughout the centuries. All these wars were never caused by Albanians themselves, as they mostly fought for their own freedom. The image above depicts in its own form the struggle of the Albanians in their fight for “flag and country”.

Ethnic Albanian Forces in Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia

1. Volunteer of “Preseva, Medvedja and Bujanovc Liberation Army” (Ushtria Çlirimtare e Preshevës, Medvegjes dhe Bujanovcit - UÇPMB)

The UÇPMB wore the same sleeves and beret badges as the UÇK, but with the inscription “Ushtria Çlirimtare e Preshevës, Medvegjes dhe Bujanovcit - UÇPMB”. This fighter is wearing an obsolete 1960s JNA camouflage uniform, and has pulled on a woollen face mask to avoid recognition by the Serbian Police.

2. Military Policeman of “National Liberation Army” (Ushtria Çlirimtare Kombëtare - UÇK), Macedonia

The UÇK (Macedonia) wore the same uniforms as the Kosovo UÇK, with similar red cloth sleeve and beret badges showing a black two-headed eagle, the inscription “Ushtria Çlirimtare Kombëtare - UÇK”. This fighter is wearing a black civilian clothing, on the left upper sleeve a white-edged black brassard with a beret badge and the white initials “PU” for Policia Ushtarake (Military Police). There was also a plain black armband with larger white letter.

3. Officer, “Kosovo Liberation Army” (Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës)

Ethnic Albanian guerrillas in Kosovo, southern Serbia and Macedonia used any camouflage uniforms they could find, capture or smuggle, often combined with civilian - particularly black - items. This officer is wearing a German Army M94 camouflage uniform. On the upper sleeve the UÇK wore a red cloth straight-sided shield with a black two-headed Albanian eagle, gold piping, the inscription “Ushtria Çlirimtare e Kosovës - UÇK“. A smaller round cloth badge was worn on a black or red beret or peaked camouflage field cap. No rank insignia were worn.
