Ex-Yugo states are similar to Catalonia. If Catalonia breaks away and forms a league with Barca, Espanyol, and a bunch of amateurs, it's like Croatia forming a league with DZ, HS, and a bunch of amateurs. But Catalonia benefited from being part of Spain, just like Croatia/Serbia benefited from being part of Yugoslavia.
Modern Albania as a country was never a part of some multi-state entity with tens of million of people. It's more apt to compare it to other small ex-Bloc states like Latvia/Lithuania. (I know they were part of the Soviet Union but Russia destroyed everything that wasn't Russia).
