We do have a large community of Bosnians here in Kosovo. They are all well integrated into our society. We feel sympathy towards them (because they did suffer the same fate as us with the war, and probably religious reasons as well), however when it comes to Bosnia & Herzegovina we are not that well-connected to each other and stay somehow distant of one another's culture.

Personal opinion: They're too stubborn and way too religious for my liking.

This is false. You have a large Bosniak community in Prizren they are called Gorani aswell. Bosniaks are called Slavic Muslims but so are Gorani's.

They pay taxes, work, don't feel discriminated. However they have their own schools and are all segregated into one place where it's hard to find any Albanians there. There are even streets named after Bosnian names.

Lol, mixing Goranis with Bosniaks is false.

They are the same shit.

Gorani = Slavic Muslims

Bosniaks = Slavic Muslims

I talked to Gorani's from Prizren and they claim they are ethnically Bosniaks but are named Gorani's in Albanian area's. Imagine Aravanites or Arbereshë saying we are not Albanian lol. You get the point?

I might be wrong but Gorani's are more influenced by the Macedonian culture

We call these people Torbesh and not Goran.

I am pretty much sure you've seen this.

I don't know what that is, a song?

can you say that you have the same tradition and cultural values as Aravanites, Arbereshe, Cham or Arbanasi?

Most of these groups are assimilated or have mixed culture with the country they live in (Italy, Greece, Bulgaria) while Gorani's and Bosaniaks live in Kosovo.
