Genetics can verify, confirm historical, archaeological evidence and, corroborated with attested cultures, can trace the movement of populations over time.
That's why any sort of assumptions that lack scientific evidence is pure nationalistic nonsense.
As for the predominant I2a in Balkans and around the Carpathian, cannot be anything but Thracian - Getae - Dacian - Illyrian.
All areas of I2 spread were inhabited by Thracians and is also known that Illyrians are the mix of Hallstatt culture with the expending Thracian / Cimmerian, advancing on Danube, over areas of Austria today.
Not to mention that most predominantly I2a areas in Ukraine, Moldova, Romania were inhabited for hundreds of years by Thracians - Getae - Dacian tribes.
Tyragetae on Dnister - NW of Black Sea, Dacian Carpi attested to move from 4th BC from between Dniper-Dnister to Moldova and E Romania, then relocated to areas of SW Ukraine and Slovakia, NE Pannonia, then relocated around Pecs - Hungary today by 4th AD; Costoboci in S-SW Ukraine, Buri, Ratacenses in Pannonia, Byephi, Albocenses (posiblly Dacian -Illyrian that are the Albanians today) on Tysa River, Ansamenses in North Romania, Moesi, Paeoni, etc and the mix of Thracian-Illyrian, Dacian-Illyrian tribes.
Those were all indigenous carriers of predominantly I2/R1b, I2/R1a, I2/E-V13.
Which you wont find to the originally Celtic, Germanic tribes, of predominanly R1b / I1 mix.
And also the so called 'slavic' DNA R1a1 we know is only partially slavic. South Slavs, have a solid 'Ancient' R1a or from preexisting Balkans, ,Danube Carpathian cultures, mostly aquired by slavic speaking through assimilation of preexisting populations.
'Safely' called 'Slavic' DNA can be only Z280-Z282, found mostly in West-Slavs and the traces of those in South-Slavs.
As for the statement that that Norse have some Thracian DNA, it is attested that Cimbri appeared upon the arrival of Thracian / Cimmerian tribes in Jutland about 7-800 BC. They carried the I2 into N Germany and through Jutes, Cimbri into Britain. Also the I2a into Italy, Spain and Sardinia.
