By majority of ways Hungary is Central European but with some minor Balkan aspects influences.

It depends.

By culture and religion: not really
By language: not at all
By geography: mostly not
By genetics: some people have a little ,,Balkan DNA'' , some have more, some are not comparable to Balkaners at all, some are significantly or are fully like Balkaners (like me, my mom, my dad); That's probably due to many mixing that happened through the centuries and assimilation of other nations around base Hungarians

[Chris596]

Those 15 people who voted yes so far, have never been to any real Balkan countries and they don't know what they're talking about.

No, they have mixed Slavic-German ancestry. Balkaners are a mix of Slavs and Illyrians, Thracians, Vlachs depending on region.
Definitely much blonder and Nordish looking than Bulgarians, Serbs, Albanians etc.

Hungarians have tons of native pannonian (they were illyrians) genetic ancestry too.

Maybe a tiny bit but it's not really noticeable. Hungarians look like Czechs, Austrians, Slovaks. You don't cluster at all with Albanians and Greek Thessalians for example.
