By comparing the estimates from several sources, the conclusion was reached that there are about 750,000 Croats who have emigrated with the intention of taking up permanent residence in one of the destination countries. Serious studies estimate that about 2.5 million Croatian emigrants, together with their descendants, live in overseas countries. It should be noted that large migrations within the territory of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have changed the ethnic aspect of some parts of these countries (emigration of Muslims from Slavonia to Bosnia, Catholics from Bosnia to Slavonia, Lika, Istria, etc., immigration of Bunjevci Croats to BaËka and of Vlachs to Croatia and Bosnia). Thus, Croatian national minorities in Italy (Molise Croats), Austria (Burgenland Croats), Hungary, Slovakia, Moravia and Romania were formed. Croats in Austria The Croatian minority in Austria (GradiπÊe-Burgenland) has about 40,000 members, 15,000 of whom live in Vienna. They have a highly developed national life, especially in the cultural aspect, and they strongly resist the loss of ethnic identity. For this purpose, amongst other things, they use their own social and minority press in the Burgenland Croatian language. Croats in Belgium About 8000 Croats live in Belgium. In addition to the older generation of emigrants (today their descendants) who arrived in Belgium before and between the two world wars, the new, post-war emigrants make up most of the Croatian minority. Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina 752,068 Croats used to live in Bosnia, making up 17.3% of the total population. The decrease in their number is distinct. The majority of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina live in Western Herzegovina, Posavina and Central Bosnia. Croats in Montenegro The number of Croats living in Montenegro slightly exceeds 6000. The number of Croats in Montenegro has been in continuous decline, particularly since 1971. 19
THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA • 2003 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION Croats in the Czech Republic and Slovakia The Croatian community in these countries is scattered among seven villages in Bohemia (Moravia) and seven villages in Slovakia (around Bratislava). Most of them live in Slovakia (Devinsko Selo, Hrvatski Grob etc.). The number of indigenous Croats in these countries is constantly decreasing. While there were 10,000 of them in the past, today there are barely 4000. Croats in Denmark Until the end of the World War II, there were almost no Croats in this country. Today, as the result of the post-war economic emigration, 2000 Croats live in Denmark, half of whom reside in Copenhagen. Croats in France About 28,000 Croats live in this country today. Most of them came to France after the sixties, when the communist regime opened the borders. Croats in Italy At least 13,000 Croats live in Italy. The Croatian community in Abruzzi (Molise Croats) in the village Acquaviva (“the living water”) and surroundings maintains its Croatian tradition, and the older residents preserve their local dialect. Croats in Luxembourg There are currently 1000 Croatian economic emigrants living in Luxembourg. Croats in Hungary According to realistic estimates, about 50,000 Croats live in Hungary today, mostly around Pecs (25,000) and in Budapest. Minority societies, press and education are active. Croats in Macedonia About 3000 Croats live in Macedonia. Croats in the Netherlands About 7000 Croatian economic emigrants live in this country, most of whom came after 1960. Croats in Germany About 183,000 Croatian economic emigrants live in Germany, forming the largest number of Croats in any Western European country. The majority of those who have stayed can be safely classified in the category of permanent emigrants. Croats in Romania A portion of the Croats who emigrated to the Banat long ago found themselves within the borders of Romania after the World War I. In the Caras-Severin district, around Raπice (Resita), there are about a dozen Croatian villages where the majority of the Croats live. It is estimated that about 8000 Croats live in Romania. Croats in Slovenia About 55,000 inhabitants of Croatian ethnicity live in the Republic of Slovenia, making up about 3% of the total Slovenian population.
