Serbian and Balkan culture is related to Turkish culture?

As "pure" Croatian you are qualified and have moral right for answer about Croatians.

All surnames of my muslim side come from Croats. They are islamized natives of western Herezgovina (before than Dalmatia) and western Bosnia, and we know who the natives there were.

Sure, but Serb from Bosanska Krajina who has a match in y dna with your father destroy your theory about Croatian paternal line.

Yesterday I talked with my friend. She celebrated my birthday with me and she told me she ate baklava and likes turkey. I told her serbians, greeks, bosnians also eat baklava and that many of the foods are similar and that also the music sounds similar to me and that it was 600 years the Ottoman Empire. Do the Balkanites and Serbs here agree with me?

I don't know but in my opinion, Bosnians are mostly in Turkish cultural sphere.

They drink Rakija, Turks drink Raki.

Also they say "hajde", like us. Turkey is actually a mediating country between Serbia and Bosnia. We have good relations with both countries. Turks do not have negative feelings towards Serbia, especially basketball fans. A lot of Serbian players and managers contribute to Turkish basketball clubs that's why we love them.

Turkish serials are popular in the Balkans, and I'm sure in Serbia too. My friends from Croatia and Serbia were telling me that. Once I saw a blog created by a Serbian who bashed Turkish serials were 'Turkish propaganda' because it was showing how European Turks were in lifestyle, like not wearing the hijab and drinking alcohol (as if these serials are created for Balkan audience and not Turkish audience) He was obviously butthurt because these serials did not serve his stereotypical interests.

Within the spectrum of Islamic world; Turks are closer to Balkan Muslim populations rather than the Middle East, being secular and whatsoever.

Yep, Serbs are influenced by Ottoman culture, like other Balkan nations.

Among Albanians they are most influenced nation in Balkan by Ottoman and/or Turkish culture. But in many aspects they are still closer to Serbs and Croats (Bosnian at least) than to Turks.

Yes, they are closer to Serbs and Croats in a racial sense, but closer to Turks in an ethno-cultural sense.
