distance/ connection (closeness) to the members of the two most numerous
ethnical communities in Vojvodina (Serbs and Hungarian) and Germans in
Germany, their home country, bring us interesting results. It is talking
about that numerous number of the examinees; based on the ethnical
description, threat themselves more close to the Germans in home country then
to the Serbs and Hungarian who live around them. Distance to the Serbs is
more expressed to the colonists who have been moved In after Second World War
and to the refugees and displaced people, who found asylum in Vojvodina,
during nineties 20th century. To their neighbors, Hungarians, at the same
time they express very contradictory feelings, closeness - because of the
cultural preferences, numerous family?s connections and identical religious
decisions and also there is a distance because of the need that they
reconstruct and restaurate own identity.
