I agree, Croatians have cluster for tons of their regions and for Serbs there is only 3-4 heavy outdated clusters.
Poreklo is serious site, with many members who have high knowledge about genetic.

well academic samples ain't that, since they test the general population of an area, not just the main ethnicity of the country.
9/28 kits in the Serbia_Serb average have some ancestry from Prizren-Timok (a.k.a "Torlak") areas and the average still isn't as south plotting as those from Belgrade.
And who is Mingle to advocate about Serbian autosomal results?
According to these results I am distant from both with distance of 6, but closer to Serbs from Serbia alone, than to Krajina ("croatia") Serbs, which is not likely to be true.
Krajina Serb average is a bit northern than that.
These are results of study of me, and one member of Poreklo forum about Krajina Serb autosomal genetic. We worked indendent from each other and got similar results.
Krajina_Serb_average,24.71,31.76,16.79,8.22,14.62, 1.55,0.43,0.22,0.81,0.56,0.38,0.03,0.03
Serb_Krajina,25.39,31.20,16.65,8.69,14.35,1.42,0.6 7,0.27,0.53,0.40,0.33,0.07,0.03
According to Poreklo average Krajina Serbs have for only 1.58% higher Baltic than Serbs from Serbia.
That 31.3% for Krajina Serbs is very close to your 31.76%, but their sample is 63 and your was 28. When on difference of 35 samples is very similar that means it's relevant.
Mingle didn't claim or advocate for anything, he just emailed a dozen Serbs on gedmatch and asked them about their ancestry, that's all.
some of them had a Serbian name and results within Serbian range, but it turned out they are actually 1/2 Croatian or Bosniak, 1/4 Romanian, etc.
that's why it's not ok to include that Tintor man for example, just because his surname appears among Dalmatian Serbs.
What is your problem with Banija Serb Milković who score 36.21% Baltic? He and his relatives are full Banija Serbs, according to my information. I got their names, one is Dragutin and will try to find of others (I have in my computer).
Petar Tintor is full Dalmatian Serb, his y dna is J2b1-M205.
