I already did MyOrigins.
I am testing with LivingDNA at the moment. Although their focus tends to be people of the british isles, they still have more regions than any autosomal test. The Balkan is broken into three reference groups as opposed to 1 with 23andme. The three regions are Aegean, West Balkan, and East Balkan. Aegean is Greece(mainland + islands/central and southern Albania), West Balkan is Bosnia, Croatia, Northwest Albania, Montenegro, Malta(for some reason), western Kosova, and Western Serbia. East Balkan is northeast Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Eastern Kosova, Eastern Serbia and Romania. Their Y is a little more defined than 23 but not as much as SNP testing.

It is either that or ancestry(which is really only good for gedmatch).
I would recommend LivingDNA as they plan to eventually regionalize each nation. Starting with Germany and Ireland, then moving down to France and Italy.

How far back does it go and how do they differiate between these populations? Many Balkanites share same genes within last 1500-500 years.
Agean is same as dna tribes which is greek/italian/albaniam, basically Balkan /south east europe cluster of 23andme and ftdna
