Components are always arbitrarily composed. You can take any set of genes and call it a component as long as it makes sense for what you plan to analyze. E. g. If you want to investigate proportions of Brits and Saxons in modern Englishmen, then the components like WHG and EEF would not be of...

But who said they are Hungarians?

Why are you putting yourself into a position to transmit other people opinions? In your posts I recognize traces of Serbian expansionistic agenda, however poorly understood. So the result is pretty much chaotic.

How could that be "Serbian" territory if it was "owned by Austrian Hungarians"? Vojvodina has always been multiethnic territory. At least since it was taken from Ottomans, and before that time it was under Hungarian king since the early middle ages. It doesn't, of course.

It is very likely that most of Kosovars, if not all, in this study, are ethnic Albanians. Yes, they claim lot of nonsense as we witness it on a daily basis.

Well that's not quite true as some samples fom Serbia proper mainly plot with Montenegrins. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0105090.g003 However, it is obvious that Albanians have very little or nothing to do with the original Slav genetics. What make...

I admit I've never heard of the "Serbian enclave in Vardar region in Macedonia". However, after the Balkan Wars in the beginning of 20th century Serbia annected that region and tried to asimilate local Orthodox Christian population. The attempt was not succesful. Serbs used to called these...

Vojvodina is something different. It is a northern part of present day Serbia, previously part of Hungary (Banat, Bačka) and Croatia (Syrmia). Serbs are majority there only recently. I've not seen summary autosomal data for Vojvodina Serbs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vojvodina

You are obviously not familiar with the subject. I'm afraid that Bachus either misinformed you or you haven't understand properly what he said. Or, most likely, both of that.

Ther is no such a thing as "North Serbs"? I've never heard about that. Where did you get the idea that Croats do not plot with Hungarians? I've showed you a PCA plot. Where is the problem?

I must admit that I haven’t understood what you wrote above. The image that you linked confirms what I previously stated.

No. Only a part of Montenegrins started to declare themselves as Serbs after 1991. Montenegro is under a jurisdiction of Serb Orthodox Church which has been actively promoting Serb identity among its belevers. The division is mainly political and ideological rather then ethnical.

Every PCA I've seen so far places Croats next to Hungarians. Serbs are always shifted towards Bulgarians and Albanians.

Montenegrins are ehnically just what their name say - Montenegrins. Croats and Serbs are not "the most close racially and genetically out of all the Europeans ". There is no data that indicate what you said...

There was lot of misunderstanding about the meaning of the term Dalmatian (in its “ethnic” rather then regional sense) in Venetian sources. You’ve probably heard of this famous Venetian Croat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Veranzio In Venetian sources, Dalmatian (as well as...

Yes, it is likely that ancient Thracians (or proto Thracians) made up a significant part of the dark green component. The same question goes for “Sardinians”. It is perhaps something very ancient, or it came with Norvegians, a result of a slave trade, or just a statistical error. Anyway...

(You just reminded me to a nice Romanian film I watched. It was about living under communistic regime. People were hungry most of time. A family of a city policeman got a bribe from a village man in a form of a living pig. They had to kill the pig somehow in their flat, in secrecy. So they got...

In this study, Montenegrins, Serbs from Serbia, and Serbs from Bosnia (“western Serbs”) are presented in different colours. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/figure?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0105090.g003 The samples were taken here...

It is probably due to a higher number of “western” Serbs in the overall Serbian sample.
