A new study has just come out "The peopling of the last Green Sahara revealed by high-coverage resequencing of trans-Saharan patrilineages"

It concentrates on several Y haplogroups common in Africa, from the Es on the M2 and M78 branches. I would not comment on the overall results relevant to African population, but just found interesting data in the Supplementary files. It seems new samples from Europe and the Balkan were sequenced, so we will have extra scientific data regarding those branches.
Regarding the African M2 branch, it is found only among Portuguese and not elsewhere in Europe.
Now for the M78, the most numerous is, of course V13. It is found with highest percent among Albanians with 33.82%, however the number of samples is small, 68 only. Second are Romanians with 26.67%, but again the number of samples is 30 only.
Bulgarians are 20.93%/129 samples, Macedonians 17.15%/99, Greek 11.32%/433, Hungarians 9.43%/106, etc.
Other branches under M78 on the Balkans are found mainly among Greeks - V12 and V65, One Bulgarian is V12 and one Macedonian V22. In other parts of Europe different branches under M78(xV13) are common only among South Italians and Spaniards.
