Summary/Abstract: This work is based on empirical material gained by research in project “Sociological aspects of multiculturality and regionalization and their impact on development of AP Vojvodina and Republic of Serbia” that was done on representative specimen on AP Vojvodina territory in year 2002, at the Department of Sociology, Philosophical faculty in Novi Sad. One of the research aims was questioning the attitude towards refugees, since this territory has recently accepted several thousands of them. Starting form the fact that no society can shelter such a great number of newcomers without problems, and that society in crisis can even hardly do so, author questions social and cultural consequences of mass refuge in Vojvodina. On the other hand, considering the fact that refugees inevitably bring their specific economical, social and identity problems and needs with them in the place of refuge, this work gave special attention to the question if the multiculturality is positively correlated to readiness for acceptance and helping the refugees.
