Summary/Abstract: Romanian migration in Mediterranean area has generated plenty of studies, but only few of them are analyzing the situation of Romanian minority in Greece. Starting from a hybrid methodology, the present paper is an attempt to localize and to nominate ethnic and cultural identity formation patterns among first-generation Romanians living in the Athens (n = 198). The main findings of our study reveal the auto/hetero - identification mechanisms specific to the bicultural practices, which are activated by means of attachment and cultural/ethnic salience and shaped by the ethno-categorical and intergroup relations.
