As usual imo Davidski makes no sense to me.
Romanians and Serbs are not SLAVS. They're Balkanites who happen to have more East European than, say, Greeks or Albanians.
The Slavic migrations, like the Lombards ones or the Gallic ones had progressively less impact the further south it traveled.
All you have to do is look at any autosomal analysis.
Some of the "northern" shift may also be Celtic etc. They were in some areas for a long time.
There's only one way to know the specifics here, and that is to have an ancient sample from one of the migrating Slavic speaking tribes, and ancient samples from the period before that from both, say, Romania and Serbia, and then a bit later from Macedonia and Thessaly and lower Greece.
He just confuses everyone with gibberesh.
The Dorians are from a completely different period. Again, the only way to know what they were like, and the impact upon the autosomal composition of the locals is to compare one from a documented, more northern "Dorian" grave, and an ancient sample from, say, the Peloponnese before their arrival.
My guess is that the Dorians are "Greek like", as most contemporary archaeologists and historians agree.
This was just another Nordicist "myth" to try to "appropriate" the accomplishments of Greek civilization.
Another fail, probably, although we need the samples to be sure.
