Derived from Baltic...? Would you like to say that Slavic is a "child"
language and that Slavic branch was separated from Baltic "nucleus"?

That is exactly what I am saying.
Linguistic cladistics conducted by other researchers confirms this.

If so, have you anything to substantiate such a "theory"?

Google. 'linguistic cladistics' + 'genetic relationship' + 'university
of pennsylvannia'..
Or just read this:

Mind you, I predicted such a relationship on the strength of my own
modest efforts years before cladistic research was applied. Right here
in this NG, in fact.

Latvian udens (water); vad ba (lead), vadonis (leader), valdyti
(rule) valdnieks (ruler)
Lithuanian vanduo (water), vesti; vadovauti (lead); valdyti (rule),
vadas, vadovas (ruler, leader)
Serbian voda (water), voditi (lead), vodja (leader), vladati (rule),
vladar (ruler)

Congratulations! Some Baltic vocabulary seems to have survived in
Serbian.
