Russian, Pole or Serb, for example (4)

I believe the answer is:

slav

(Other definitions for slav that I've seen before include "Eastern European" , "Native of eastern Europe or northwestern Asia" , "Person speaking one of related languages of Euro-Asian border" , "eg a Pole" , "East European - Asian Russian" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
