Summary/Abstract: Colonization within the area of regional (županijski) land offices in Croatia existed in the following districts: Batina, Darda, Daruvar, Donji Miholjac, Đakovo, Našice, Nova Gradiška, Orahovica, Osijek, Pakrac, Slatina, Požega, Slavonski Brod, Valpovo, Virovitica and Vukovar, because, according to regional reports, there was free land to be found on estates in these districts. The greatest number of volunteers and colonists between the two wars were settled in the districts of Virovitica, Slatina and Vukovar. In these administrative units there was an increase of the Orthodox population, at the expense of the Catholic and other religions. In terms of numbers, there were some 8000 volunteers, colonists with general conditions, optants, and refugees that moved with their families into the north-eastern part of Croatia, which, according to estimates, amounted up to 30000 new inhabitants in the area mentioned.
