Razprave in gradivo


In this paper the ethnic situation in Yugoslavia according to the 1990 population census is presented. The changes in the ethnic map since WWII are expleined as results of forced and voluntary migrations within and out from the territory of the former Yugoslavia. These migrants, who belonged to different "nations" of Yugoslavia (although citizens of one country), had many characteristics of international migrants before the breakup of Yugoslavia. In the second half of the paper, ethnic changes in the last decade of the 20th century as a result of forced and voluntary migrations will be discussed for each of the successor states. This is explained through the chronology of events from the secession of Slovenia and Croatia in 1991 until the NATO attack on Yugoslavia in 1999.
