It doesn't mean that you are really what the calculators show you are.
I also think that so many samples just skew up the results.
Basically no chance for anyone in the Balkans to be only 5-6% Slavic apart from some Greek islanders and isolated populations like Maniots.
For more realistic results, just a few ancient populations is enough, especially if it's historically verified as well.
A model like this one for the Southern Balkans is enough I think:
