25? This paper is claiming more like 40%. According to them Albanians are as Slavic as the 10th century Kuline samples. But at the same time they post charts where Albanians plot very near the local Balkans samples, unlike the Kuline samples which are rather shifted to the left towards Germanics.
I still don't get it. Basic knowledge of Balkan Y-DNA would tell you that it's impossible for Albanians to be that Slavic, unless they believe EV13 or R1b-L23&J-L283. I only recently came back reading anthropology stuff and it seems like there's been a shift on focusing on autosomal dna over ydna, which is regrettable imo because the former is based on an insane amount of speculation in comparison to the latter. Not saying autosomal is useless but it's undeniably extremely speculative
