E1b is associated with the thracians in the balkans,
illyrians are R1b and also G2a in the north and they moved south later
I2a1 as per my theory was from ukraine area, was bought to the balkans by the cimmerians around 650BC. after the cimmerians where attacked by the scythians around 700BC.
Thracians and illyrian are geographical terms for many different tribes , many cultures, many kings, many ethnics
