How much is the non-Slavic R1a in Balkans?

[xripkan]

We know that Indo-European people from the steppes settled the Balkans since the Bronze age ( Illyrians, Thracians, Greeks etc). A part of these peolple very possibly was R1a. Does R1a from Bronze age settlers exist in a considerable amount in Balkan countries today or it is mostly/only Slavic?

The slavic R1a is the M458

So this is the map of slavic haplo in Europe

Ok but my question is if most R1a that exists in Balkans is of Slavic origin.

Yes

Yes

If we assume that Indo-Europeans that settled in Balkans during the Bronze age were partly R1a then a significnt amount of it should not be Slavic.

No, they weren't. They were R1b L23 and that's common among non Slavic Balkanites today. 99% of Balkan R1a are Slavic branches.

there's some r1a z93 but very low and possibly some middle eastern r1a clades. not too familiar with this ydna eitherway, i'm just an enthusiast.
