Summary/Abstract: The Romanians of Serbian Banat represent one of the historical communities found outside Romania's borders, characterized by a well-preserved identity and a sense of nationhood cultivated for hundreds of years, from generation to generation, despite the drastic decrease in their numbers. They are part of the body of the Romanian people, who, by political decisions adopted at the peace conferences that followed the First World War, remained part of one of Romania’s neighboring states, namely the Serbo-Croat-Slovenian Kingdom, later Yugoslavia, and today the Republic of Serbia. Our intention is to present, on this occasion, some aspects of the confessional identity of this population, which has certain particularities and characteristic moments that set it apart and distinguish it from other historical Romanian communities.
