So, you are definitely underestimating proto Slavic admixture among them, as well as in south Slavs.

Of course, these are academic averages so there are definitely some regional differences in every country, but this is gist of it.

That new paper which presented the genomic analysis from the Roman era burial grounds in eastern Serbia also gives them a similar estimate of Slavic ancestry:

Note that they used some ancient Ingrian sample as a proxy, so the Slavic admix is higher than that for all the listed populations.

Poor Montennigas. It is as bad as with Lithuania!

yes, 20-30%, but most of that is probably from the early medieval period, and not mixing with their neighbours.

Wow, so it is quite a lot then! More than I thought.
