Who represents the group sometimes considered Albanized Romani in the Assembly of Kosovo?
Ashkali and Balkan Egyptians The Ashkali (also Aškalije, Haškalije, Hashkali) and Balkan Egyptians (Jevgs, "Egjiptjant" or "Gjupci") are Albanian-speaking ethnic cultural minorities (recognized communities) which mainly inhabit Kosovo. They are sometimes considered to be Albanized Romani, but they do not self-identify as such. Prior to the Kosovo War of 1999, Ashkali registered themselves as Albanians. Now they are divided by identifying with two different groups, although the people share culture, traditions and language (Albanian).
