Moravski Hrvati – nacionalna grana u nestajanju?
The Moravian Croats – A Disappearing National Branch?

Summary/Abstract: The author discusses the Moravska Croats as the oldest Croatian diaspora which experienced two migrations. The first was in the 16th century due to Turkish incursions, and the second in the mid twentieth century when the Czech government forcibly displaced them to northern Moravska. There they were scattered into more than a hundred settlements and subjected to systematic assimilation. Although the Czech government recognised their minority status in 1991 and apologised for this genocidal action in 1999, the Moravska Croats have not yet been compensated nor returned to their villages. The action mentioned was also an introduction to their gradual liquidation as a Croatian national group.
