You see, the ancestors of the Serbs, Montnegrins, and Albanians were Avar tribes (not to be confussed with Mongol tribes near Siberia) from the Caucasus, however the indigenous people such as the Thracians, Dacians, Illyrians, and Slav retainers, were fussed with them, giving mixed signals to us all today.
The Avars were Chrisitan Nestorians, who buried their dead and had a state religion, dating circa 300 A.D. They were totally assimilated by the Thracians and Slavs, and their vestiges live on in Serbs, Montnegrins and Albanians (Malisori but not Shiptars, to be precise) so does their spirit.

Any connection between them and the Avars who invaded central Europe and the Balkans in the early Dark Ages is problematic: these Avars speak a Caucasic tongue akin to Circassian and Lak rather than the Turko-Mongolic language the Balkan Avars are thought to have used.
