Would the Albania and Anhalt also be covered through the margrave and princess? In earlier threads, it was stated that Queen Geraldine of the Albanians was not descended from Jan Willem Friso, but was from his maternal uncle, Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau. So Johann II of Anhalt-Dessau would link the Albanians and descendants of JWF; it goes without saying that Anhalt is also covered.

Yes. Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, is triply descended from Frederick I, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach and Sophia Jagiellon, Princess of Poland.

But no matter how you slice it, Montenegro will never enter the picture, unless a member of the dynasty today were to marry into mainstream European royalty. Things would be different, had the marriage of Crown Prince Danilo and Princess Jutta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz produced heirs.

To think that even Prince Leka II of the Albanians is better connected than Crown Prince Nikola of Montenegro today ...

Nicholas, Prince of Montenegro (I won't call him crown prince, since his father was not a king...) only has seven ancestors at the sixteenth generation whose names are recorded/known from about the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. All seem to be French or at least connected to what is now France, but none of them have known connections to ancestors of other royals.
