Славянският елемент безспорно доминира над "местния", ако и последния умишлено да е подценяван.

Genetic origins

The modern Slavic peoples come from a wide variety of genetic backgrounds, attesting the complexity of the ethnogenetic processes in Eastern Europe that started in the Great Migrations period in the 5th century and are continuing today. The frequency of Haplogroup R1a[2] ranges from 56.4% of the population in Poland and 54% in Ukraine, to 15.2% in Macedonia, 14.7% in Bulgaria
and 12.1% in Herzegovina([3], [4]). Haplogroup R1a may be connected to the spread of Proto-Indo-Europeans (see Kurgan hypothesis for more information). While R1a and R1b haplogroups dominate in Western and Eastern Slavic populations, Haplogroup I1b is the most common haplogroup among the people of former Yugoslavia(63.8% Herzegovians, 52.2% Bosnians, 32.2% mainland Croatians)
A new study (Rebala et al. 2007) studied several Slavic populations with the aim of localizing the Proto-Slavic homeland.A significant finding of this study is that: Two genetically distant groups of Slavic populations were revealed: One encompassing all Western-Slavic, Eastern-Slavic, and two Southern - Slavic populations,and one encompassing all remaining Southern Slavs.” According to the authors most Slavic populations have similar Y chromosome pools, and this similarity can be traced to an origin in middle Dnieper basin of the Ukraine..”
However, southern Slavic populations such as Serbians, Macedonians, Bulgarians, and Bosnians are separated from the tight cluster of Slavic populations. According to the authors this phenomenon is explained by “the contribution of the Y chromosomes of peoples who settled in the region before the Slavic expansion to the genetic heritage of Southern Slavs
