From a peer reviewed study

The South Slavs and Romanians are obviously mixed with Slavs. Even Macedonians and Bulgarians as they shift on average still more North than Italians, Kosovars or Greeks. Bosnians and Croats being the most Slavic.

The Croatians and Bosnians are more close to East European populations and largely overlap with Hungarians from Central Europe, while Kosovars and Macedonians cluster closer to Eastern Balkan populations and Gagauzes (Figures 3and5). Interestingly, the Gagauzes, who geographically locate in East Europe, are more similar to Eastern and Western Balkan populations according to their autosomal profiles (Figure 2,3and5) than to East Europeans. This agrees with the earlier study of the NRY variation suggesting that the Gagauzes descend from northeastern Bulgaria[58]. The Kosovars deviate the most from other Western Balkan populations – note, that among those they have also the biggest similarity to Greeks (Figures 1,3and5). Serbians and Montenegrins have an intermediate position on PCA plot and on Fst –based network among other Western Balkan populations (Figures 3and5). The relative position of Western Balkan populations to each other on the PCA plot does not considerably change in any combination of first five PC-s (Figures S2-11).

They dug up dozen of ancient Balkan graves etc.. not a single I2a1b or R1a or I1... a large chunk of Romanian and South Slav paternal lineages are of Slavic origin and they also happen to be autosomally Slavic as shown in the OP, with Croats and Bosnians the most.


Pureeeee paleo Balkan LOOOOOOOL

were are the dozens samples you claim? all i see is 3 samples all from different periods that only prove those ydna's existed before illyrians
