I'm a Greek man from Crete, I don't really know the Balkans well north of the Montenegrin border .

Good intel, thumbs up.

Thanks, but I'm too lazy to run the algorithm for all others. Culturally speaking, Slavonian Croats are most Slavic, they are only people in this region with truly Slavic culture in my view.
If we speak about Croats, southern Croats from Adriatic islands/coast and dinaric Alps have very alien culture to Slavs in Slavic homeland, our culture is much more Med and Paleo-Balkanic influenced.

NW Croats have German influences in their culture. But they are pretty similar to western Slavs (Czechs and Slovaks) juat like Slovenians.

Bosniaks have Ottoman culture. etc.

[Peterski]

Sandzak Bosniaks are not very Slavic.

Sandzak Bosniaks are not very Slavic.

They aren't real Bosniaks and have no ties to lands of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Yes I know about it. They are close to Montenegrins in Single Distances.

They are a mix of Slavs and Albanians who converted to Islam?

I think they are mostly islamicised Brda Montenegrin clans. Brda clans are on average less Slavic than some other Montenegrin tribes and they did intermix with Albanian tribes, however they are Slavophone.
Some Sandžak Bosniaks are descendants of medieval Serbs who converted to Islam and are native to SW Serbia but such people are minority among them. Btw to add: Brda orthodox clans are Serbs by identity, not Montenegrins.

Sandžak dialects are mostly Montenegrin like. They do have lot of Paleo-Balkan ydna similarly like Albanians but autosomaly their Albanian blood is exeggerated.
Sandžak Bosniaks are almost same people as Christian Montenegrins genetically and are closer to Serbs proper and to other orthodox Balkan Slavs than to Albanians.

As we see, Croats are not significantly more Slavic then Serbs. They only have that Germanic component that is absent in us.

Yes, correct. But biggest difference isn't even in Germanic component, rather difference in pre-Slavic part. Croats pre-Slavic part is central Italian like, Serb pre-Slavic part south Italian like.
While Bulgarians and Macedonians pre-Slavic part is something even more southern, and partly Anatolian.
