Serbs have a long history on the territory of today's Albania. The territory of today's Albania was part of the medieval Serbian Empire. According to the latest national minority census in Albania (1989), there were 100 Serbs and Montenegrins in the country [1]. Independent sources placed the figure at 10,000 in 1994 [2], and some Serbian sources have claimed that up to 40,000 Serbs live in the country, mostly concentrated in and around the northern town of Shkodër (Serbian: Скадар or Skadar).
