摘要：The total and relative number of the Croats in Serbia and Montenegro has been permanently decreasing since 1961 (with the exception of Kosovo). That decrease cannot be explained only by economic but, in the first place, political reasons. In this respect, the period from 1991 to 1995 is particularly interesting; although there were no military activities within the territory of those Yugoslav republics, ot that time ot least 40,000 Croats (28.8% of the total Croatian population in 1991) were being forced to emigrate. That was the third-largest exodus out of Serbia and Montenegro after the Second World War (after the German from 1944 to 1948 and Albanian in 1999). As this is the case of o period for which there are no reliable statistical dato, it is not possible to define precisely neither the scale of the emigration nor the current number of Croats within Serbia and Montenegro. It is estimated that approximately 70,000 Croats live there today, meaning that the number of Croats has been reduced by 49.7%. From 1948 to 2000, during the second and the third Yugoslavia, that number was decreased by 106,000 (60.3%). Not much has been written about this issue so for. The paper is limited to a review of the origins, subsequent immigration, spatial distribution and exodus of Croats, based almost exclusively on dota from Yugoslav population censuses
