Scroll down and find the i2a2 map, apparently its still present in northern Greece/Southern Albania in small amounts.

It's native from hunter gatherers and was definitely carried by Thracians

even some politicians have made statements in the last days about the slavic origin of I2a , publicly acknowledging they were wrong all along

Oh lol. It's believable though lol as in the Balkans anything can happen

Bump.

It was an interesting thread, at least the important part. Seems that Albanians are more Slavic influenced than Greeks.

No, Southern Albanians are simply very Greek-like in their genetics. A high rate of the very Greek Y-DNA J2a as well as similar rates of Slavic Y-DNA R1a and I2.

I2a1b-Dinaric are the Slavicized populace of Pannonia and Dalmatia.

Those are Slavicized people of Rome whom Diocletian moved from Rome to Singidunum, Salona, Spalato etc.. He did that cause he was born in Salona himself, he wanted more civilized populace.

After massacre of Avars, Romans were everywhere but not in the cities, when Slavs captured major cities they eventually mixed with Roman populace whom they called
Vlachs.

We have Romance I2a1b-Din in Romania, and Slavic I2a1b-Din in Serbia/Bosnia.

I see no other explanation.

Aromanians (those who descended from Roman soldiers) Have R1b Y-DNA and I2a1b-Din... they obviously never had anything to do with Slavs.

I2a1b-Din in southern Albania are Vlachs.
