Етничка панорама пограничних општина: Црна Трава И Трговиште
Ethnic Panorama Of Border Municipalities: Crna Trava And Trgovište

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the changes of the ethnic and confessional structures of the population of two municipalities in the border area of south-eastern Serbia during a fifty-year period (1961 - 2011) are analyzed from the demographic and socio-psychological perspectives. Considering that the territories of these two municipalities partly overlap with the Bulgarian and Macedonian state borders, the focus of the research was directed towards the presence ofcertain nationalities, ethnic diversity, and the quality of interethnic relations. Simultaneously, the examination of ethnic distance among young people confirmed the initial assumptions about their emphasized openness towards the members of other nationalities and readiness for cooperation in all spheres of social life, whereby the belonging to a particular nation or ethnic group loses its importance in comparison to moral and psychological qualities of a person.
