Are Slovaks genetically closer to Lithuanians or Balkan Serbs?

What are you think are the people of Slovakia genetically more close to Lithuanians or to Serbs?

[Sikeliot]

Lithuanians, though not by much. Most Slovaks look Central European and Lithuanians very NE European, but I figure Slovaks overlap with Poles who overlap with Lithuanians, while Serbs are more distinct.

Slovaks and Poles doesn't look similar. If anything, Poles in general resemble Belarusians and Ukrainians and Slovaks resemble Czechs as well as Hungarians.

The MDS analysis performed on the basis of pairwise FST values revealed that Slovak populations do not cluster together. Western Slovaks are located together with the Czechs and Austrians (in accordance with their geographic proximity), whereas eastern Slovaks are placed close to Slovenians

I thought the thread was phenotype. Genetically probably intermediate. Even with Lithuania having a lot of haplogroup N, autosomally they are not Asiatic influenced.

To Serbs. All populations form Verchar's quote are relatively close to Serbs: Czechs, Austrians, Slovenians

Genotype=/=phenotype. And Slovaks and Poles do not look similar. There is some voerlap of course. And Serbs also look more Central European than Southern European.

Depend what Serbs and Slovaks you're talking about.

population in balkan (except very south, southwest balkan), carpathian mountains, pannonia and eastern alps are in my opinion closer to each other than to population north of carpathians, especially around baltic sea.

Both. Slovakians have Northeastern European genes (haplogroup R1a), and Balkan genes (haplogroup I2). But they lack the Finno-ugric haplogroup N, common among Balts.
