Are South Slavs closer to Italians (Romance peoples in general) or North Slavs?

Are South Slavs closer to Italians (Romance peoples in general) or North Slavs (Polaks, Russians, etc.) in biological sense?

I mean in biological, not cultural sense.

[Philip Latinowitz]

North slavs. But I am speaking about Croats only.

Bulgarians/FYROMians might be closer to Italians idk.

Fun fact: my YDNA is common in south Italy despite TA members said I look Russian

[Sikeliot]

Croats, Serbs and Bosnians to Poles/Czechs/Slovaks.

Bulgarians and Macedonians are closer to Greeks, not sure about Italy. Probably closer to southern Italians than to say, Russians even though by appearance you can clearly see the Slavic.

North Slavs.

[Ülev]

Slovenes to N. Slavic people, but the rest of that soup is unique

[Сербо Макеридов]

Italians are mostly R1b, and R1b is pretty weak among south Slavs and among Slavs in general, except Czechs.

Distribution of R1b


East European admixture almost does not exist in Italy

[Aspar]

You have no idea what are you talking about when you put all southern Slavic speaking nations in a same basket.
There are worlds apart between Slovenes and Macedonians for example in terms of look, genetics, mentality and so on...
