I read some of her post, she knows more history than genetics, but history can be made into propaganda where genetics can not.

Most closest Balkan populations to Moldavians (both from today RM, and Moldova region from Romania) are Western Balkanites, Serbs, Bosnians and Croatians. Wallachians are close to Bulgarians, Macedonians and Greeks. Since Moldavians are half Slavs, half Balkanites, this make sense.
That's normal.
Bulgarians are the only Slavs that crossed Romania during migration.
The others went round it.
Western Balkan Slavs migrated around the Northern Carpathians, and entered Pannonia in Slovakia (like the Mongols did).
That's why they're closer to (South) Western Slavs, but also have some similarities with the Moldovans.
There are some Serbs which carry R1b-U106 and I2-M223 and they are mostly from areas where Saxon miners lived in middle age (Kosovo, Kopaonik).
One Serb from near Kopaonik who carry I2-M223 have matches in Germany in y dna.
Dick's haplogroup probably came with Saxon miners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxons_in_medieval_Serbia
Saxon church is in one village on Kopaonik mountain in Serbia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopaonik
I speak about genetical conection with Balkan Slavs, and most closest to us are Western Balkan Slavs. Of course biggest part of Slavic influence is from Ruthenians (aka today Ukrainians), especially the Western ones, some Slavic DNA is from Hungarians (Csango people).
No some Croats from Pannonia have high Germanic, higher in Slovenia most places
I can show some genetic data result if you want
Poles like me are low Germanic, LukaszM I seen in other forum is only Pole who is seen with lower Germanic than me couple %. There is also Krabat like Peterski 40% Germanic..
I wasn't speaking about northern Croats but Croats in general. wtf is Krabat, are you trolling or something ? Funny how strongly Germanic Peterski is, he don't like Germans very much.
To put it short: Slovenes, North Croats : Slavic + German + Illyrian
rest of Croats (also Bosniaks, Bosnian and Croatian Serbs) : Slavic + Illyrian
