Given the Slavic admixture in the Balkans, the Eurogenes Blogspot created this nice chart comparing the ancient EEF-heavy Balkans all the way to Ukrainians. As you can see there is a natural cline from Minoans to Ukranians, with Slavic ancestry increasing right on the line/slope.
If you look at Croatian IA and Helladic MBA they are very similar and more Eastern-European like. This is obviously less EEF-admixed populations.
When they got to the Balkans, they mixed with EEF-heavy populations, and became more "Mycenean-like". Then more Slavic admixture in the Middle Ages increase the steppe ancestry/EE-like admixture.
But this is where users like Aspurg who are getting a little desperate, try to say that modern Albanians are Bulgarian IA + Slavic. That can't be true, because Bulgarian IA is way too eastern shifted to begin with. And this makes sense. They were from the Eastern Balkans.
Adding Slavic ancestry to Bulgaria IA, gets some random new population that doesn't exist.
The actual southern Illyrians (Taulanti, Bylliones, Albanoi, Dardanians) and other northern Hellenized people like Epirotes and Macedonians would be somewhere around here
Adding Slavic ancestry to Mycenean Greeks you get a perfect fit to modern Greeks/Albanians. Southern Illyrians and Epirotes/Macedonians + Slavic ancestry are a perfect model for both northern Greeks and Macedonians. Certainly not Thracian/Dacian or any other already-eastern shifted people.
