Literature review of the national identity of hungarians in Vojvodina from 1990 to the present - II.

Summary/Abstract: In this second paper, we are attempting to demonstarte the changes in the political/citizenshiprelated and cultural-historical national identity of the Hungarian ethnic minority in Vojvodina.With the end of Yugoslavia as a country this ethnic minority became Serbian citizens. The newleaders of Serbia had an adverse view on this ethnic minority until 2014 when the Serbianpolitical leaderership changed their political identity and favoured the West instead of EasternEurope.The financial aid provided by the Hungarian Government to the Hungarians living inVojvodina, which targeted cultural and economic development in the area, aimed to better thelife and strenghten the national identity of this ethnic minority. Those who received financialaid developed a better outlook on life. The possibility to acquire Hungarian citizenship easilystrenghtened the Hungarian national identity of this minority and contributed to populationdecline. While people migrating to Hungary are primarily motivated by access to bettereducation, others migrate to Western Europe for work.
