“…Other populations with low genetic diversity values when compared to the present results include those from Croatia (R st =0.0077, P=0.0148, Grskovic et al, 2011 ), Slovenia (R st =0.0497, P=0.0000, Sterlinko et al, 2001), Hungary (R st =0.0806, P=0.0000, Füredi et al, 1999;Egyed et al, 2000;Beer et al, 2004;Völgyi et al, 2009;Pamjav et al, 2017), Greece (R st =0.0943, P=0.0000, Parreira et al, 2002;Robino et al, 2004;Bosch et al, 2006;Kovatsi et al, 2009;Katsaloulis et al, 2013;Martínez et al, 2016) and North Macedonia (R st =0.1000, P=0.0000, Spiroski et al, 2005;Jakovski et al, 2019;Jankova et al, 2019). The highest genetic distance was observed when our study population was compared with the populations of Belgium (R st = 0.2341, P=0.000, Roewer et al, 2001;Maesschalck et al, 2005;Mertens et al, 2007;Purps et al, 2014;Claerhout et al, 2020), Italy (R st =0.2133, P=0.0000, Grignani et al, 2000;Presciuttini et al, 2001;Ghiani et al, 2002;Cerri et al, 2005;Robino et al, 2006;Turrina et al, 2006;Onofri et al, 2007;Ferri et al, 2008;Ferri et al, 2009;Rodríguez et al, 2009;Verzeletti et al, 2009;Brisighelli et al, 2012;Piglionica et al, 2013;Robino et al, 2015;Rapone et al, 2016;Sarno et al, 2016;…”
