EMIGRĂRILE ROMÂNILOR DIN BANATUL SÂRBESC ÎN EUROPA OCCIDENTALĂ
MIGRATIONS OF ROMANIANS FROM THE SERBIAN BANAT TO WEST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some of the reasons for the migration of Romanians from Serbian Banat into West European countries. Migration of Romanians into overseas countries (SAD, Canada, Argentina, Australia) started in the first decades of the 20th century, while migration in the West European countries started after the Second World War. Economic factors are considered to be one of the main reasons for the migration, i.e. the fact that a large number of Romanian families owned small parcels of land which was especially true after the Land reform conducted by the communist government after the Second World War. Apart from the economical factor political and religious factors should also be mentioned, which also influenced the Romanians decision to leave the region.
