I hesitate to reply to every nonsense, but I am curious to know where
Mr. Rader found these recent migrations of Geg Albanian speakers into
Kosova.

I hesitate to generalize about Balkan linguistic geography, but some
areas became a linguistic mosaic due to relatively recent migrations
(e.g., of Geg Albanian speakers into Kosovo, of Serbs across the
Danube in the late 17th century), combined with state-controlled
immigration (e.g., of Turkish speakers into a number of areas, of
Germans into Vojvodina).
