Not again that Austro-Hungarian myth on Albanians posing as Illyrians so that Austrians could colonize Bosnia (Illyria proper).
John Wilkes is THE authority on Illyrians and he says they were/are Bosnians.
For crying out loud, even the name of the “lost” city-state is BASSANIA, not “ALLBANNIA”! Unbelievable.
