Summary/Abstract: This text is an analysis of some of the key research related to ethnic migrations in fomer Yugoslavia, performed by professor Ruža Petrović (1928–1993). These works have been chosen because they represent very important contribution to understanding the dynamics of dissolution of Yugoslavia, while they are also an excellent illustration of scientific approach and method of this author. Ruža Petrović was the professor of demography at Faculty of Philosophy, and later she also became a founder of the Cathedra for Social Demography at the Department of Sociology. Petrović had a rare gift to come to the core of social problems, while using demographic data and analysis, owing to her sociological background.
