It then notes that the Roman Empire split in 395 AD and Slavs migrated into the Balkans in the 6th-7th centuries, absorbing the indigenous populations including the Illyrians. Finally, it mentions that the Great Schism in the 11th century formalized the split between the Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic churches, which is reflected in Albania with a Catholic north and Orthodox south.
