Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the attitudes and opinions of the displaced persons from the Croatian Danube basin regarding the Plan of Peaceful Reintegration in relation to their personal characteristics, intention to return, emotional attitude towards the place of displacement and 'its characteristics, and experience of war and displacement. The data were processed by the non-parametrical contingency analysis and expressed in relative frequencies. lt was determined that attitudes and opinions were, in a more or less varied degree, statistically significantly correlated to all variables-predictors. The highest correlation was observed between some personal characteristics (education, age and nationality) and criticism towards the Plan, and the lowest correlation was found between experience of war and displacement and general opinion of the Plan. The data confirm the Hocke's thesis that exclusively humanitarian approach to the problem of displacement without defining its political causes, proved to be inefficient.
