Are Krajina Serbs really Vlachs?

Singificant Vlachic input exist in southern/eastern Serbia and Montenegro.
Still southern/eastern Serbs and Montenegrins are not predominantly Vlachic.

Are Western Serbs genetically closer to Serbs from Bosnia/Croatia or to Eastern Serbs?

Serbs from Bosnia and Croatia are western Serbs, or Prečani https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prečani_(Serbs)

If you mean of Serbs from western Serbia, they are closer to Bosnian/Krajina Serbs than to Serbs from southern/eastern Serbia from what I have seen.

Differences between Serbs from all regions are not so huge.

Serbs from western serbia are probably In between.

Serbs from Southeastern Serbia and certain Montenegrins are the only ones with predominantly paleo-balkan DNA. Those from the territories west of the Drina river are probably the 'purest' Serbs and they have the greatest amount of Slavic ancestry.

All this talk about Krajina Serbs being Vlachs started because in Ottoman times most of Orthodox Serbs were called Vlachs by Turks and Muslim Serbs, also as mentioned before vlach also means shepard and it was used as a social status not as an ethnicity.

Later nationalistic Croatian politicians like Ante Starcevic wrote some fairy tales on how Krajina Serbs are just slavicized Vlachs in order to discredit Serbian people. Other than that this assumption has zero scientific value in any sense, there is no proof that can connect Krajina Serbs with Vlachs.

This is failed attempt of trolling.

There was no any traces of Latin language among Krajina Serbs. Except this, today we have genetic, and Krajina Serbs are autosomally the most distant from Romanians (partly Vlachs) of all Serbs. Not to mention Albanians and Greeks...

That's a significant amount of West Asian in the 2nd guy for a Dalmatian Serb, I get 0 percent non European on every single test I take, so either Zadar Serbs are different to Knin Serbs or I just didn't inherent all the wog dna from my dad. None of the Knin and Lika Serbs I've matched with have any non Euro beyond 0.1 percent East Asian.
