Abstract
The population of 26 Albanian districts were analysed for AB0, MN and Rhesus blood group systems. The dendrogram based on genetic distances showed a closer relationship between districts with a higher population density and a higher gene flow. It was shown that, of all Balkan populations, the most closely related were those from Slavic areas and that the Albanian population was the most distinct.
