Albanian certainly has northerly affinities (as noted also by Eric Hamp, another eminent student of the language), but there is no particularly close relationship to Baltic. I take Albanian/Dacian to be one of the Satem groups more or less coordinate with Balto-Slavic, Indo-Iranian, Armenian and Thracian.
