Summary/Abstract: In the text the author analyses the dynamics of the displacedrefugee contingent in Croatia and abroad from mid 1991 to mid 1998. Demonstrated in the observed period is the change in the number and distribution of: displaced persons according to counties of displacement and accomodation, refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia in Croatia according to counties of accomodation, Croatian refugees abroad (Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Austria…) according to counties of displacement, and refugees from Croatia in Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (displaced Serbs) according to counties of refuge. The demographic development of Croatia in this decade has been essentially determined by these forced migrations connected to the events of war in the Republic of Croatia, and neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina. From 1992 to 1998 between 430 000 and 700 000 people participated in the flow of displaced persons and refugees, comprising from 9% to 15% of the population of Croatia according to the 1991 census.
