“…The reasons behind this rationale are quite obvious and elaborated in many different studies (Petrović & Petrović, 2017;Castells, 2015;Howard et al, 2011). As we have discussed in the first section of this paper, governmental control of mainstream media is one of the main characteristics of undemocratic regimes (Castels 2013).…”

Social media play a significant role in political informing across Europe and the rest of the world. That is why the political consequences of social media use have become one of the prominent issues in contemporary social research. In line with that, this paper investigates how the use of social media for political informing is associated with the state of democracy in European countries and how individual satisfaction with the level of democracy and the political activism of citizens are affected by social media use. We have used data from the latest European Value Survey, conducted in 2017-2018. Our data sample included 30 countries with the referent number of more than 56000 respondents involved in the survey. The main finding of our research is that a deficit of democracy leads people to use social media as a part of their political informing repertoires. This finding applies to both, those who live in undemocratic circumstances and those who live in developed democracies but have a negative personal perception of democratic procedures in their country. It seems that once citizens are "forced" to use social media for political informing, they, in turn, become influenced by media content displayed there and by other peoples' ideas. In other words, the very use of social media makes them even more critical of democracy and consequently more politically active, which brings them back to social media.

“…Perhaps, engagement while distancing oneself from political support. However, if we look closely at protests in Central European countries, their successful initiators are usually newly established civic organizations and NGOs-Poland (Komitet na obranu demokracji), Slovakia (Za slušné Slovensko) -and young people using new social media (Petrović and Petrović, 2017).…”

Migration is a cyclical process which also involves a decision as to whether to return. The situation in Slovakia is characterised by a high number of young people studying abroad. Up to now, the process of their migration and return has been studied frequently from an economic perspective. However, the return migration also contributes to social changes in the home country of the migrants. Therefore, the return migration opens new research, areas and themes some of which we include in our paper. In contemporary migration studies, the transfer of new ideas, practices and codes of behaviour between the place of origin and destination covers the concept of social remittances. The idea of social remittances focused sociological attention on the tendencies of returning young migrants to become bearers of change and development in their home country. In this paper, we are presenting findingsabout practical aspects how young Slovak migrants become agents of social change in their immediate circle, community and even society. KEY WORDS: migration, return migration, young migrants, social changes APSTRAKT Migracija je ciklični proces koji uključuje i odluku o tome da li se vratiti. Veliki broj mladih iz Slovačke studira u inostranstvu. Procesi njihovih migracija i povratka su do sada proučavani najčešće iz ekonomske perspektive. Povratna migracija, međutim, utiče i na društvene promene u njihovoj domovini i otvara nove istraživačke oblasti i teme, od kojih su neke uključene u ovaj rad. U savremenim studijama migracija, transfer novih ideja, praksi i kodova između mesta porekla i mesta destinacije je obuhvaćen pojmom društvenih doznaka. Ideja društvenih doznaka je usmerila sociološku pažnju na tendenciju da mladi povratnici postaju nosioci promena i razvoja u svojoj domovini. U ovom radu predstavljamo nalaze o praktičnim aspektima toga kako slovački migranti postaju akteri društvenih promena u njihovom neposrednom okruženju, zajednici, čak i u društvu.

“…Instability characterized intermarriages in Yugoslavia. Petrović (1968) noticed that disagreement and differences on ethnic grounds were the root causes of the instability in mixed marriages. Burić (2020) added here an important observation: that mixed marriages were more common in cities, between spouses with a higher level of education, between whom divorce was certainly more frequent than in the rural population.…”

“…Earlier studies on ethnic intermarriages in Vojvodina were based on publicly available statistical data analyses (cf. Petrović 1968;1985;Botev 1994;Smits 2010;Sokolovska 2008;Lazar & Aćimov 2017), while scant attention was paid to ethnic-intermarriage-born individuals from a qualitative perspective (Özateşler-Ülkücan 2020). To understand this phenomenon of heteroethnic millennials we need to adopt Hobsbawm's (2012, 10) approach 2 of analysing the nations and their constructions from above, i.e., in terms of political, technical, administrative, economic and other conditions; and from below by voicing individuals' assumptions and interests.…”

The goal of this paper is to investigate the role of family choices regarding the language of education in self-representations in the adult life of millennials, who grew up during the 1990s Yugoslav wars in Vojvodina. Although the armed conflicts of the 1990s Yugoslav wars avoided Vojvodina, the war had a profound effect on the region. For intermarriage-born millennials, one of the milestone events in their lives is their parents’ choice of language of instruction when enrolling them in elementary school. The paper is based on an in-depth analysis of interviews conducted with millennials born in Serb-Hungarian intermarriage. The findings show the influence the choice of language of school instruction has on the millennials’ identity and sense of belonging. Those who attended minority language tuition endured more ethnicity-based, nationalism-fuelled incidents during their schooling. This topic is important, since the experiences of intermarriage-born millennials in Vojvodina had previously been neglected because of the focus on Serb-Croatian-Bosnian relationships in conflict literature.
