The Vlachs (Aromanian) large presence in South Albanian probably explain my strong connection to these samples, but I am not sure how to explain yours.? Can you shed some light on that? I think is very interesting?

I agree with Stuvane as to the options.
I also agree that it may be that the steppe admixed populations which were in central Europe, the northern Balkans, and also went into Italy and Iberia were pretty similar. However, we have in Szolad some definitely "Greek like" even Island Greek like samples, so these were, it would seem to me, from the "colonization" period, or they arrived afterwards, but still before the conquest by the Byzantines going by the dates. Whether there were also arrivals from parts of the Italian peninsula I have no idea.
I can also tell you that based on not just mytrueancestry but the gedmatch calculators, I'm closer to the Illyrian/Dalmatian samples and Scythian Moldova samples than I am to the vast majority of Imperial samples. That's been a big surprise.
As for the Vlachs, you would know much more about that than I do. I can tell you, though, that the Albanians who show up on my lists at the gedmatch thread are, first, Kosovans, and second, Albania north.
Other northern and central Italians may get different results.
