I am quite certain I am partially southern Italian, my Zadar side of the family has Croatized Italian surnames
Also, even though I am, it's believe it is quite minimal and aren't Southern Italians quite east mediterranean oriented?

It is rare over 20%.
I got 18.56% WestMed and that is above our average.

How many generatianos ago do those surnames start and are they on both sides on your family?

But 20-21% East_Med is ok in Crna Gora, isn't it?

Basically I am majority Dalmatian and I suspect some Italian and Vlach influence due to the very high west med and low north atlantic I have, also plenty of croatized Italian surnames. I also have relatives on 23andme from Southern Italy(mainly Abruzzo), but since my Baltic is in the Croatian average I don't think I have much Italian ancestry. I have no Albanian or Greek ancestry, don't have and DNA relatives with them either so Arbanasi aren't a part of my ancestry. According to 23andme my ancestry comes from Dalmatia and border of Bosnia and Croatia(where my father is from) but almost all of that part of the family migrated from Dalmatia. Thank you and again, I know I am not Serbian by nationality so it isn't my place to post here.

Your Baltic remained high because Genetics work in a way, that you inherit random attributes of your parents. Your DNA only rarely ever will be a 50/50 mixture but a combination of also your Grandparents DNA.

Among Serbs it is less than 20%, like westMed.
Maybe in Montenegro is a bit higher.

Some are from early 1700s, while some are even older
My mothers surname comes from a Dalmatian island at it was recorded in early 1600s but they migrated to Zadar and then the village my mother is from, they mixed with the locals who have extremely uncommon surnames for Dalmatia
They are more common in Croatian Zagorje and Ukraine/Slovakia than in Croatia in general, if you heard them first thing, you would think they were from Ukraine

That is too far to show in your Gedmatch results. Since you do have elevated West Med I think Zadar locals are somewhat collectively mixed with Italians. Idk, hard to tell anything.
