inhabited as early back as 100.000 years ago. It was
the turn of the third Millennium BC that an Indo-

cultural and linguistic characteristics of the whole
Balkan Peninsula (pellazgs) was created. Based on
this ancient population, the Illyrian people developed
through the second millennium and the first century B.C.
