New player of Hajduk Split. He parents are Serbs from Serb village in north Macedonia. Does he look more Serb or Macedonian Slav, what do you think?

Pontid + Alpinid. Fits fine as both, of course.

[Jugosloven]

Serb, we look different than Macedonians and Bulgarians.

[Jana]

I also think he leans more Serb than Macedonian.

[Varda]

Look more Serbian. Doesn't have Macedonian vibe.

[CommonSense]

He's got odd features for Serbs from Kosovo (which I'm assuming the Serbs of that village are the cloest to). Wikipedia says his father is an immigrant. Here's a photo of him and his brothers, one of them looks fully Swedish:

So I'm pretty sure he's from a mixed marriage.

Well, Croatian media says his both parents are Macedonian Serbs from same village.


Alexander Kačaniklić, 29-godišnji Šveđanin, čiji roditelji vuku podrijetlo iz većinski srpski naseljenog makedonskog sela Čučer smještenog 15 kilometara sjeverno od Skoplja, rođen je u Helsingborgu, gdje je i počeo igrati nogomet.

This guy look pseudo-Iberian to me
I imagine Macedonians like Toše Proeski, Kiro Lazarov or Stefan Ristovski

His native village belong to Skopska Crna Gora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skopska_Crna_Gora

Serbs from Skopska Crna Gora speak same dialect as Kosovo Serbs and they are connected historically with them, they are same as Serbs from Šar mountain. They entered in Macedonia due to communist changing of borders after WW2.
Other Serbs from Macedonia speak "Macedonian."

[Tauromachos]

Pontid based type

I think it's a case of bad translation. A set of siblings like that can't be fully Serbian.

His origin is from Skopska Crna Gora. Local Serbs there resisted to macedonization for decades. They are basically same people as Kosovo Serbs divided by artificial communist border, and they traditionally have more marriages with them than with Macedonians.

Serbian identity still exist in Skopska Crna Gora, school on Serbian language https://youtu.be/quNxab23TL0?t=1459

Yes, I know the people from that area are basically Kosovo Serbs. I was talking about the dude's mother likely being Swedish.
