That's incorrect. A lot of Balkanites, including Romanians have genuine Middle Eastern ancestry not connected to Gypsies in any way.
For instance, not many Romanians know (because of the current shitty education system that does not want to discuss history anymore) that the Romanian cities on the Danube have been literally occupied by the Ottomans for about 300 years (unlike the rest of the Principalities, which were never occupied). Half of the population of those cities used to be Middle Eastern. Some of those people left during the Balkan wars, but most remained and converted. You can bet their present day descendants score above 2% South Asian, yet they have no Gypsy ancestry. Many of them even overlap in looks with Gypsies, but socially they're fully integrated, and always have been.

That's nice but if I pick randomly 100 Romanians most of those, if not all, who score south asian will have it from gipsies and it will be in the 5-25% range on average(4th-5th generation gippo mixes are probably very rare)...and in numbers, it will be around 10% of romanians and the fact that it occurs in MOST cities in very similar percentage it means that it's not from some turkish/-insert mena minority- that used to inhabit some small cities or settlements.
By the way, 2% can be noise for sure, but 5% is not, you'd have to be half or similar to that some MENA to score so much.

All Romanians have some amount of steppe ancestry, mostly from Turkic (Cuman) and Avar/Iazyges populations that lived for quite a long time (we're talking centuries here) in the Eastern part of Romania. This influence is widespread and started very early, literally during the formation of Romanians as a people. This brings it's own South Asian genetics - on average around 1%, but this is normally distributed, so in rarer individuals will get over 5% without it being connected to Gypsies.
In other words, a 5% SA score is no guarantee of Gypsy ancestry - there are other important sources of SA genetics in the Balkans, that are very hard to untangle from the genuine Gypsy ones.

They're called gipsies.
We've all seen average Romanian results, 0% south asian, even 2% is uncommon and pushing it...yes, we had turkic people here, but when most romanians dont score south asian then you can't use this as an argument not to mention that those turkic tribes wherent indian, so :
-if we would have any signifiant south asian from them it would mean that we'd share probably majority of our blood with them.
-this 5%+ south asian on dna tests individuals occur in all Romania in equal proportions and is directly proportional on average to the number of gippos you see on the streets in that respective city.
- romanians who have 5%+ south asian on 23andme also share many gippo relatives.
Put 2 and 2 together and realize that in a country where 10% of people are gipsy mixed the mathematical chance for the 5% south asian to be some unlucky recombination(can't even occur when in great majority romanians score 0%) is greatly outnumbered by the chance for it to come from gipsies.

Whatever happened to Impaler? The Romanian dude who consistently scored around 6% South Asian/Indian, but had no Romani/Roma/"Gypsy" blood... I don't think his parents even showed South Asian or Indian...
