Look what Jordanes is saying,but I do not know how accurate it is:
"Both writing in the mid-6th century, Jordanes and Procopius provide the first indisputable reference to the Slav ethonym, in the form Sclavenoi. Jordanes writes that their land stretched from the town of Noviodunum, to the river Dniester, then northward to the Vistula river. He adds that the Sclavenoi, Antae, and Veneti were but one people."
But they are refering to venethi:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vistula_Veneti
So it would make a lot of sense,since russians from there are called "white russians" (belarus) croats are called "white croats".
And this could easily explain the resemblances between scandinavian languages and south slavic languages,refering to how the definite article is used in romanian (guess in romanian is influence from south slavic),bulgarian,serbo-croatian and scandinavian,being post-fixed.
But I think these slavs only brought leading class and language not majority of DNA since people in Balkans and Romania are too dark haired and have too high percentage of brown and dark brown eyes to be from there (Vistula region).
Because I know people from there are mostly blue eyed,being with amongst highest percentages in the world with blue eyes - know that belarussians have mostly blue eyes,at over 50% percentage or even more.
And this could also explain the significant percentage of I1 in serbians and croats and so on.
I remember to saw they also found N1C1 in serbians,about 3% so if that is coming to be true,than is clear.
