    Croatia – Country fact sheet Migreurop – October 2014 General information Like other countries in the area of Western Balkans, Croatia has been for most of recent history a country of emigration. Since the 1960s, many Croatians have emigrated – either temporarily or permanently – to countries of Western Europe as “guest workers” ( gastarbeiter ). During the war following the breakdown of Yugoslavia, there were both a lot Yugoslav refugees coming to Croatia, as well as leaving Croatia – this is why the term “izbjeglica” (meaning “refugee”) is reserved in the public discourse for Yugoslav refugees from the war in the 1990s. The geographical position of Croatia on the Balkans migratory path towards the EU, as well as its post- socialist orientation towards joining the EU have significantly impacted Croatia's becoming also partly a country of immigration. With the efforts to harmonise its legislation and migrant management practices with the EU standards, Croatia has adopted an independent asylum system in 2004, strengthened its border controls, and is currently in the process of constructing two additional detention centres and making structural changes to join the Schengen space in 2015. This means Croatia has been “buffer” zone of externalisation of the EU migration politics until July 2013, when it also joined the EU. Since joining the EU, it is also part of the Dublin III system of deporting asylum seekers to the state responsible for their asylum application, which is usually the first state they have entered the EU 1. Croatia being on the outskirts of the EU, it means that many asylum seekers are returned to Croatia once they seek asylum elsewhere.

  • 24 Serbs in Hungary by Peter Miklos
    24 Serbs in Hungary by Peter Miklos Some South Slav population already existed in the southern and south- eastern part of the Carpathian Basin when the Magyar Conquest occurred at the turn of the 9-10 th century. These ethnic Serbian and Bulgarian groups -- professing the Orthodox religion -- formed part of the population of the southern territory governed by Ajtony who rebelled and lost (in 1028) against King Saint Stephen, organizer of the Christian state and its first king. Over time, there were several dynastic links between the ancient Magyar rulers of the House of Arpad and the Serb nobility. The most significant moment was the marriage of Bela II (the Blind) who ruled between 1131 and 1141, and Ilona, daughter of the Serb grand župan (ruling prince), Uros. The matrimonial ties between the ruling Magyar and Serb families and the political elite resulted in an influential Serb community in the country which, however, did not lead to a significant influx of immigrants. Significant arrival into Hungary of Serbs occurred in the 14 th century as a result of the expansion of the Ottoman Empire. The immediate reason for their northward migration was the termination of the independent Serbian state. This was preceded by battle loss to the Turks in 1389 at the Battle of Kosovo (Hung: Rigómez ő), where Lazar, the Serb ruler, also fell. This battle became the center of Serb national memory and the birth of national identity, its recollection featuring prominently in literature, ballads and folk songs, reminding the Christian Serbs of their struggle against Turkish Islam.
