Even peshk is from Latin, for sure there was no Slavs in Balkans at
that 'loaning' moment...so the Albanians was in Balkans at least 300
to 600 years before the first Slav arrive there...only based on a
supposed Latin peshk
(but and I can demonstrate that they was there even before the Roman
Arrival in Balkans)

So I don't see any link between 'Alb peshk as from Latin' and
the 'Slavic Politic'...
