I'd be surprised if the stuff some of my relatives used to distill in Croatia would have less than that lol.
In my experience virtually everyone from the Balkans knows someone who distills themselves or knows someone who does. In my alcohol closet there's like six distinct Slivos from all over South/Eastern Europe. Homemade, of course, and you absolutely do not want to drink more than 2cl... not because of possible methanol but because this stuff will absolutely get you wasted in no time at all.
Come to think of it, the worst hangover of my life was on Hvar.
Where I usually go in the Balkans -- Vojvodina area, if that even counts as Balkan -- the homemade stuff isn't that much stronger than the store-bought. Probably a little, but you end up drinking half a liter of the stuff in a good night, so it can't be much over 40.
