Population

The total population of Serbs who originate directly from Croatia can safely be estimated at around 600,000 people. Due to various reasons, only a fraction of Croatian Serbs actually still live in their native homeland of Croatia: 201,631 according to the 2001 population census. They currently comprise around 4,5% of Croatia's total population. About one million Serbs have their origins in Croatia. 2001: A Space Odyssey. ...

The number of Serbs in Croatia was much larger in 1991, when they numbered at least 581,663 and over 12,2% of the total population of Croatia. The exact figure from 1991 is disputed since a large number of those who had in previous censuses identified as Serbs, declared themselves as Yugoslavs, a group which at the time numbered another 106,041 people. The largest exactly recorded number of Serbs in a census was in 1971 when there were 626,789 Serbs in SR Croatia (over 14% of the total at the time). During World War II, Serbs comprised 30% of the population of the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945) and lived on one half of its soil, but that territory also included all of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 1931 census in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia recorded around 633,000 Serbs in the Croatian territories, but the state and province borders were different at the time so this number may not be precise. The 1840 Austrian population census conducted in Croatia and Slavonia, 504,179 Serbs were registered, which formed 32% of Croatia's population. The loss of the heavily Serb populated Eastern Srijem region, the incorporation of Istra region into the People's Republic of Croatia, and the non-inclusion of Croat dominated regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the People's Republic of Croatia, as had been done in the Banovina of Croatia are examples of territorial changes that either increased or reduced the relative percentage of the Croatian population that was Serb. 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

The large decrease in the number of Serbs in Croatia was caused by the Yugoslav wars, more specifically the 1991-1995 Croatian war of Independence. The majority of the population continues to live in exile. The largest places are Serbia and Montenegro, where sources range from 150,000 up to 400,000 Serbs from Croatia. The second place is Bosnia and Herzegovina, where more than 150,000 Serbs of Croatia have settled.

Toponyms and early appearances

According to Serbian historians the first mention of Serbs is a toponym - the ancient stronghold of Srb on Una as early as the 9th century. Many Croatian historians dispute this. Serbian linguists see this name as a trace of the Serbian name (based on the resemblence of Serb to the word Srb). Contrasting this, in an interview on Fokus (30 September 2005), Croat academic Petar Simunovic explained that the name of Srb originates from an old Croatian verb serbati, srebati meaning "to sip", from which the noun "srb" has been derived. Thus "srb" denotes the spring of river Una, where the village lies. Compare this with the villages of Srbani (near Pula), and Srbinjak, both in Istria, which clearly have nothing to do with the Serbian name.

The account of settlement differs earlier in the same document when it states that the Serbs initially settled in the valley of the Bistrica west of Salonica, but unsatisified with the lands, were assigned a province south of Belgrade. In chapter 30 (based on an older source), the author Porphyrogenitus describes the territorial extent of the various Dalmation duchies as stand alone entities, then proceeds to state that they were bounded "in the mountains to the north by the White Croats and in the mountains facing east by Serbia".

Late Middle Ages

Throughout the late Middle Ages, the term "Vlach" was used for different groups of migrants that included among them, the Serbs. That is because the majority of these migrants that passed through Croatian lands were nomads. During the Tartar hordes that passed on a raiding campaign through Hungary in 1242, there is a mention of these Vlachs as having just been settled in Cetina, Knin and Lika. Later, with the development of mass movement national ideologies, the identity of these Vlachs would solidify along religious lines with the predominant number being of the Orthodox faith and identified as Serbs, while the lesser numbered Catholics were identified as Croats. For this reason and the large number of Vlach migrants of the orthodox faith, it is often accepted practise that the term Vlach is considered a proxy for Serbs. Vlachs (also called Wlachs, Wallachs, Olahs) are the Romanized population in Central and Eastern Europe, including Romanians, Aromanians, Istro-Romanians and Megleno-Romanians, but since the creation of the Romanian state, this term was mostly used for the Vlachs living south of the Danube river. ...

Early Modern period

Most of the Serbs came in Croatia during Ottoman intrusions and were settled by Turkish authorities along the border with the Austrian empire. When they conquered these areas Austrians kept the special territorial organization of the area, called Military Frontier, inhabited with roughly equal populations of Serbs & Croats. Serbs were required to serve certain amount of years in Austrian army and after it they would be granted land and be able to work free on becoming free peasants. This was requirement for their permanent stay in the region. Because of this Serbs (along with the Croat and other European inhabitants of the frontier) were regarded as some kind of Military class in the region. This tradition lasted till breakup of Yugoslavia where Serbs were over presented in military and law enforcement occupations in Croatia, although in the case of the second Yugoslavia it was largely a function of communist party membership. The area of Military Frontier was merged with Banate of Croatia in 1881 after Bosnia and Herzegovina was annexed by Austro-Hungaria. Since unification of Croatia and Military Frontier vice-ban was always Serb.

During the last two decades of the 19th century Croatian viceroy Khuen Hedervary, a Hungarian, relied on Serb parties in the Croatian parliament to maintain a governing majority. Because of this the Serbs came to occupy a disproportionate share of civil service posts in Croatia, causing resentment on the part of the majority Croatian population.

Recent history

The census of 1991 was the last one held before the war in Croatia, marked by ethnic conflict between the Orthodox Serbs and the Catholic Croats. In the ethnic and religious composition of population of Croatia of that time, those two sets of numbers are quoted as important: 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

• Croats 78.1%, Catholics 76.5%
• Serbs 12.2%, Orthodox Christians 11.1%

There were two major sets of population movements during this period - the first one during the earlier stage of the war, around 1991, and the second one during the later stage of the war, around 1995. The first movement peaked at around 550,000 on the Croatian side; the second movement peaked at around 200,000 on the Serbian side.

After the Yugoslav wars, the numbers are: The Yugoslav wars were a series of violent conflicts in the territory of the former Yugoslavia that took place between 1991 and 2001. ...

• Croats 89.6%, Catholics 87.8%
• Serbs 4.5%, Orthodox Christians 4.4%

In earlier stages of the war, most of the Croats of eastern Slavonia, Baranja, Banija, Kordun, eastern Lika, northern Dalmatian Zagora and Konavle fled those areas as they were under Serbian military control. Conversely, most of the Serbs from Bilogora and northwestern Slavonia fled those areas as they were under Croatian military control. In later stages of the war, most of the Serbs of western Slavonia, Banija, Kordun, eastern Lika and northern Dalmatian Zagora fled those areas as they came under Croatian military control.

The population change is seen by some as a campaign of ethnic cleansing. There were several incidents of what can be pretty clearly explained as ethnic cleansing: Ethnic cleansing refers to various policies or practices aimed at the displacement of an ethnic group from a particular territory. ...

• the attacks on and the subsequent expulsion of Croatian population from the villages and towns of Škabrnja, Kijevo, Vukovar, Lovas, etc;
• and conversely the attacks on and the subsequent expulsion of Serbian population from places such as the Medak pocket, as well as the events such as the Gospić massacre or the Dalmatian Serb pogrom of May 1991.

Although widely assumed to be a war in which ethnic cleansing was generally used, no international institution has yet established a clear pattern that would indicate that either side in the war in Croatia committed ethnic cleansing on the scale of the whole country, including the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia at The Hague. However, the leader of the rebel Serbs Milan Babić was indicted, plead guilty and was convicted for persecutions on political, racial and religious grounds, a crime against humanity, which combined with the content of his indictment implies that there was ethnic cleansing on the whole area of Krajina.

The war ended with military victories of the Croatian government in 1995 and subsequent peaceful reintegration of the remaining renegade territory in eastern Slavonia in 1998. The exodus of the Krajina Serbs in 1995 was prompted by the advance of the Croatian troops, but it was still mostly self-organized rather than forced. All of them have been officially called upon to stay shortly before the operation, and called to return after the end of the hostilities, with varying but increasing degrees of guarantees from the Croatian government.

Most Croat refugees returned to their homes, while two thirds of the Serbs remain in exile; the other third either returned or had remained in Zagreb and other parts of Croatia not directly hit by war.

The current reasons why many Serb refugees still have not returned vary:

• for non-civilians, it is fear of prosecution for war crimes and fear of retaliation. The Croatian legal system, like the ICTY, has secret lists of war crimes suspects, and many a returnee was caught by surprise when the authorities arrested them upon re-entering the country. There were also cases where innocent people were arrested - people who were children at the time of the war. These arrests also make other innocent people hesitant to return.
• for civilians, it is unfavourable property laws, ethnic discrimination by local authorities, and last but not the least, appalling economic conditions in the rural areas they inhabited.

In 2004/2005, the government of Serbia still had around 140,000 refugees from Croatia registered on its territory, while around 13,000 housing reparation demands had been pending with the Croatian authorities.

The property laws, in particular, favor Croats who immigrated into the previously predominantly Serb-inhabited areas after having been forced out of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Serbs. Under the current law, a person who occupies someone else's previously vacated house and does not have alternative accommodation (such as their own home or a place in a refugee camp), is allowed to stay in someone else's private property as a refugee, without being charged for squatting. The number of such individuals and families has dropped significantly in the 2000s, and a certain amount of property was returned to its previous owners. However, at the same time not all of the former refugees actually left the same houses, and instead remained in the occupied houses illegally. In 2004, the authorities noted around 1,400 houses still occupied by former refugees, and in 2005, this number was reduced to 385 housing units. The courts and the police are generally hesitant to evict these to avoid public protest of the Croat majority, causing much disagreement between the Croat and Serb communities in these locations. This page deals with property as ownership rights. ...

With regard to reparation of war damages, the plight of the Serbs is similar to the plight of the Croats - the money and/or resources offered by the government often amount to only a small fraction of the value of the people's properties prior to the war. For example, even if the government pays for a new house, that house is often much smaller than the previous one. There are fewer options to reinstate people's livelihood - it's not really likely to get back one's livestock, or a job in a destroyed factory, or similar things. In a recent public protest, a group of Serbs from Vukovar who had worked in the Borovo shoe factory demanded that their pre-war employment was honoured as it was for the Croatian employees.

This has created the situation where many if not most Serbs from the former RSK areas only come to get some reparation and do not continue to actually live in Croatia.

The Croatian government denies any ethnic cleaning on a large scale as is claimed by some of the Serbs. The successive post-war Governments have consistently worked with the local Serb representatives to rectify the war-related problems, with the support of the international community and under the watch of the independent media, but at the same time, cooperation on the lower levels has been lacking. The participation of the largest Serbian party SDSS in the Croatian Government of Ivo Sanader has eased tensions to an extent, but the refugee situation is still politically sensitive. In 2005 and 2006, the presidents Mesić of Croatia and Tadić of Serbia exchanged official visits and both met with the respective national minorities in each country, hoping to improve relations. The Independent Democratic Serbian Party (Samostalna demokratska srpska stranka, SDSS – Cyrillic: Самостална демократска српска странка) is a political party...

Slow refugee return and slow prosecution of Croatian army personnel implicated in war crimes are some of the main obstacles to Croatia's application to the European Union.
