It's none. Bosnia was the only medieval European country that was non-Catholic and non-Orthodox at the same time, had it's autonomous heretical Church and was considered an outcast by both Vatican and Constantinople. The identity of Bosniaks is historically built on opposition to the traditional ideas of both Western (Catholic) and Eastern (Ortodox) Europe.

And let's face it, the concepts of West and East Europe are pretty much Catholic culture vs Orthodox culture.

most non moslem sources show lots of catholics and orthodox in bosnia. what evidence is there that todays moslems have anything to do with medieval bosnian state anyway? seems like propaganda to link yourselves with a minority living in bosnia a thousand years ago. most likely, and more reasonable explanation is that your serbs and croat converts from ottoman times.

Well looking at those relevant Autosomal DNA maps and research, it always shows Bosnia as some borderline of east and west in Europe, sure, they're somewhat leaning toward eastern Euro, but... they're there, as borderline IMO.

True Eastern European according to Autosomal DNA maps would be Serbia (considering Ex-Yugoslavia).

P.S. Ofcourse when we talk here about West and East in case of Bosnia we are in fact talking about Central and SouthEastern Europe, where Central Europe means west.
