The abovementioned Serbian thesis has never been substantiated with documents and facts, because in whole Latin's, Greek's and Ottoman's documentation or in the biography of Scanderbeg, nowhere it isn't induced, that Scanderbeg comes from Serbian origin.

Скоро пола столећа после пропасти српског царства беше српска народна свест у Горњих Арбанаса још толико јака, да их је Србин Скендербег могао око себе скупити и безусловно покорити. Скендербегови ратни другови не беху Шкипетари, него Срби. .... Almost half of the century after Serbian Empire collapsed in Upper Albanians still had such strong Serbian national conciousness that Serb Skanderbeg could easily gather them around himself and unconditionally submit them. Skanderbeg's war comrades were not Albanians, they were Serbs.

Coming to Skanderbeg's origin, he rejects Hopf's and Jireček's view that it was Slav, contending that it was purely Albanian, and that the family name, Castriota, was assumed from the place Kastri, whereas the original surname was Mazreku, taken from a village so called. But Skanderbeg's mother had Slav name, and the epithet "Tripalda" given to her is a corruption of the tribal name Triballi, which the pedantic Byzantine historians applied to the Serbs. Moreover, if he had no connection to Serbia, why should he have given two villages to Chilindar, which the author wrongly asserts (p 43, n 1) to be a convent in Albania, but which the document he cites expressly states to have been the famous Serbian monastery on Mount Athos, immemorially connected with Serbian kings, medieval and modern?

So for instance, according to uncorroborated speculations, Skanderbeg's family allegedly had a "foreign" connection. Even if such "alien" link prove to be true, this would not make him less Albanian, and it certainly does not prove that he was a "Slav" - Macedonian, Serb, Bulgarian - as some Balkan scholars and politicians hypothesize.

dass Skanderbeg aus einer serbischen Adelsfamilie stamme, die zur Zeit der serbischen Gewaltherrschaft mit den vorgenannten Landschaften belehnt wurde. Die slavischen Namensformen der Kastrioten dürften sogar zu der Annahme führen, dass deren Versetzung nach Albanien noch zu neu war, um sie vollkommen zu albanisiren. Wenn nun, wie wir in der ersten Abtheilung dieses Werkes erwiesen zu haben glauben, die ursprüngliche Besitzung dieses Geschlechtes in dem Grenzgebirge zwischen Diwra und Matja lag und dasselbe selbst slavischen Ursprungs war, so erklärt Skanderbeg's serbische Abstammung zwar einestheils den grossen Ein- fluss, welchen er nach Barletius Versicherung auf die slavisch sprechenden Bewohner von Ober-Diwra ausübte; sie erschwert aber anderntheils die Antwort auf die Frage, wie es ihm gelingen konnte, sich an die Spitze der adelsstolzen Urgeschlechter von Mittel-Albanien zu schwingen. ... (Skanderbeg came from a Serbian noble family, which was granted a tenure at the time of Serbian rule over the aforementioned region. The Slavic name forms of Kastriotis probably led to the belief that they were recently transfered to Albania and therefore were not fully Albanized. If, as we think we have proved in the first part of this work, was the original estate of this family in the border mountains between Dibra and Matja and the same self-Slavic origin, was so declared Scanderbeg's Serbian descent but a part, the great influence, which he exercised after Barletius insurance on the Slavic-speaking inhabitants of Upper Diwra, but it complicates other part, the answer to the question of how it could succeed him to swing at the top of the haughty Urgeschlechter of Central Albania)
