Comment Re:Decades of research? (Score 1) 287

I'm well aware of Our History. You went back to SHS (State of Slovenes, Croatians and Serbs). Afterwards Kingdom Yugoslavia.
So there is WW II in between, after which Yugoslavia (SFRJ Socialistic Federative Republic Yugoslavia) as such formed and lasted until 1991. Serbia then retained the title Yugoslavia for many years, and slowly desintegrated in those smaller united countries. Remember the war in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro... Top of the Iceberg is this year's Liberation of the Republic of Kosovo, Which is just a bunch of Albanians which settled on Serbian grounds over last decades.

Back on topic... The research they where doing is not accurate enough in the Balcan part of the map. People only in ex YU are so diverse, so there cannot be single Gene poll.
