Summary/Abstract: Until 1991, the most diverse ethnic groups in the Republic of Croatia lived in the area of Daruvar and its surroundings. Due to the Serbian aggression on Croatia and the Daruvar area, major ethnic changes occurred and the depopulation trend began. The majority of Serbs emigrated, whilst the exiled Croats from Kosovo (Letnica, Vitina) immigrated, mostly to the Đulovac Municipality, as well as did the Croatian refugees from the war-afflicted Northern Bosnia (the surroundings of Jajce, Prijedor and Banja Luka).
