“…According to the Constitutional Act on the Rights of National Minorities in Croatia, a change, or rather, a reduction of certain rights occurred in comparison to the rights that national minorities had in Yugoslavia. In addition to this, Yugoslav nationalities, such as Serbians, Montenegrins, Slovenians, Macedonians and Bosniaks in Croatia became national minorities, or, Djurdjev at al. (2009) use the term "new" minorities.…”

This article analyzes interethnic marriage in Croatia in terms of nationality throughout a forty-five year period on the basis of vital statistics with special consideration of the Czech minority. The usual method of endogamy/exogamy percentage and the odds ratio method were applied. The results show that the percentage of endogamous marriages in Croatia has significantly risen after 1991. Different ethnic groups display various attitudes towards endogamy, ranging from 15 to over 90 percent. Along with Italians, Hungarians and Slovaks, Czechs are less endogamous than other national minorities. Gender differences, contrary to the conclusions in the literature, show that Czech men enter into marriage outside their group less often than Czech women. The change of political climate in Croatia during the 1990s resulted not only in the increase of endogamy, but also affected the structure of mixed marriages among Czechs.

“…The impact of migration to the ethnic structure of population is often examined at the national or international levels (e.g., Mitchell, Kicošev 1997, Plavša, Bubalo-Živković, 2002, Djurdjev, et al, 2009. At the intra-regional level, changes in ethnic structure of population have rather been investigated in relation to natural reproduction of population, due to (as emphasized by Gabal 1999) specific cultural, social and also reproductive behaviour of each ethnic group, or in different kinds of processes of assimilation (e.g., Majo 2009).…”

The paper aims to assess the impact of migration and natural reproduction of population to the changes in ethnic structure of population by the case study of three multi-ethnic functional urban regions in Slovakia. All three regions are located at the Slovak-Hungarian ethnic border and are characterized by larger proportion of Slovaks and lower proportion of Hungarians in the core than in the ring. The regions were chosen also with intent to provide a sample with various processes of spatial redistribution of population taking place, which are described in the paper. The ethnic structure at the levels of whole regions, their basic components -cores and rings -is introduced briefly. The analyses of changes in the ethnic structure and its relationships with the natural reproduction and migration of population provides interesting results. It was proved that the migration is a driving force in changes of ethnic structure in analysed regions, even though the patterns of natural reproduction behaviours between ethnic Slovaks and Hungarians are traditionally different. Since the most intensive process of spatial redistribution of population is the decentralization from the cores to the rings of the regions driven by migration, the ethnic structure of the rings tends to approximate to that in the cores.

The past two decades have brought basic changes in the whole Balkan Peninsula, where spatial structures and settlement network were not devoid of changes either. Due to the change of the economic, political and social regime and the new borders spatial structures became differentiated along new factors. Cooperation programs of the Euro-Atlantic integration hold many new challenges and opportunities. Historical and political literature studying the single countries' transformation is large and far reaching, however, a settlement network and spatial structure focused overview has been, so far, missing from the range of researches. The aim of this study is to examine the urban features and the spatial transition of the Balkan states.
