Is Slovakia the most underrated european country?

What do you mean by Vlach lifestyle? Do you mean their social life culturally dominated by values associated with the management of livestock?

I think he probably means many Slovaks were highland sheperds like Vlachs, despite Slovaks are very Slavic genetically.

Yes. If there was one thing Vlachs were good at, that was rising their livestock/ sheeps in mountainy areas. It makes sense that coming in contact with Vlachs, the highlanders in Slovakia adopted some of their methods of rising animals, thus becoming more Vlach-like. We had them converted .

Vlachs from northern Romania and Bukovina even spread north of the Carpathians into Moravia and south-eastern Poland!
They also contributed genetically a lot to ethnogenesis of Rusyns/Carpathian higland Slavs

[Aldaris]

Yes, Russians and Serbs especially. I will never support those who disrespect our religion and tradition.
Greeks also, even if they are not Slavic.

Other orthodox are more chill.

I'm also bothered how they see their eastern culture as somehow more Slavic, although it is pure fantasy as old Slavs were Pagans. Idiot Ugo represented such chauvinistic views towards western Christian Slavs.

Serbs only hate certain Catholic Slavs, and so do Russians. Neither of those groups is known for hating the entire Catholic Slavic world. And while some of them sometimes claim Slavic identity for themselves, calling the rest of us wannabees, it's rather fringe. My experiences with people from Eastern Orthodox countries, mostly Russians and Serbs actually, have been overwhelmingly positive, both in real life and here, though certainly not because of people like Ugo or Lyssyi.

Yes, and from Transylvania and Maramureș as well.

If I'm not mistaken, I've seen not long ago, a result of a Slovak person on 23andme, with a bit of "Romanian" % from Cluj. It could be explained through the Vlach heritage.

Also, this study seems interesting:

Indeed. We gave them, that tall, dark and handsome genetics

Russians and Serbs are much less religious than Poles and Croats by the way.

People who burn Catholic churches and cut head of Virgin Mary statue hate all Catholics. No practising Catholic will tolerate that.

Except cuck Pope Francis who doesn't represent what many Catholics think.

Yes, basically as Scarface F says. There is a continuity with almost all Carpathian shepherd cultures in terms of clothing, song, dance, architecture, weapons, tools, livestock practices, some foods like polenta, etc. regardless of language. You can also include the Balkan Mountain shepherds with many of the same practices.

Serbs dislike only Croatians of Catholic people in esence. Towards Poles for example Serbs have positive or neutral attitude. Serbs are aware of Polish rusophobia, but we don't dislike them because of that. Towards Italians, Spaniards and Latin Americans Serbs have positive or neutral opinion. Italy and Italian culture are pretty popular among Serbs, i would say that is caused by several factors.
