ROMÂNII DIN VOIVODINA LA ÎNCEPUTUL SECOLULUI XXI
ROMANIANS IN VOIVODINA AT THE BEGINNING OF XXI CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Unpromising way of life in villages forces young people to search for a better life in cities or abroad. Thus, the circle closes: villages become poorer and poorer, and this becomes a serious social problem. For the Romanian minority in Voivodina and Serbia, village is important for two reasons: agriculture is the basic preoccupation of more than 60 percent of the Romanian population. At the same time, the population living in villages makes the foundation and the essence of the existence of all cultural activities of this minority. With the disappearance of the village, the solid, clearly defined core of the population melts down. All the festivals, cultural organizations, media as well as schools in Romanian language aim at that population. Rural life in Voivodina faces itself with a big decision: if its goes with the flow of today’s developmental politics in Serbia, it will end up as a museum piece.
