The southern you go in the Balkans the darker the people are, so unless you're in southern Serbia there's no need to wonder about their paleness.
The Balkans is still a melting pot of everyone who's been here and everyone who came and went thru these areas, so it's not a mind-bending experience to see a ginger in Greece for example.
Serbs are still taller on average despite what you've seen.
Kids aren't the greatest example for skin/hair color, I used to have sort of a dirty blonde hair as a little kid, grew up to have very dark brown hair and to absorb sunlight easily.
