Abstract (english)
Different social statuses of three groups: Croats from Eastern Croatia (ethnic majority), Croats from Vojvodina (ethnic minority) and Serbs from Eastern Croatia (ethnic minority) and the country-specific legislative frameworks referring to ethnic minority rights are taken as the starting point in this paper aiming to identify the differences between these groups in expressing specific ethnic attitudes and social distance towards members of ethnic/national minorities. The paper is based on the survey data collected in 2013 (N = 1431) in eastern Croatia (Slavonia) and north Serbia (Vojvodina). Along with the modified Bogardus social distance scale, several measuring scales have been employed to analyse the attitudes expressed towards ethnic minorities (ethnocentrism scale, ethnic minority threat perception scale, ethnic exclusionism scale and Serbian minority rights perception scale). Series of bivariate analyses yielded several significant results: 1)Croats in the status of ethnic majority to the greatest extent perceive ethnic minorities as threat, support to the most the activities that exclude members of ethnic minorities from everyday social life, they especially stand out in diminishing of the importance of special rights of Serbian ethnic minority in Croatia, and express the strongest ethnic distance towards Serbs; 2) Serbs from Croatia, in the status of ethnic minority, most oppose the exclusionist attitudes towards ethnic minorities, particularly emphasize the importance of realization of the rights of the Serbian national minority in Croatia but express the strongest ethnic distance towards Croats and members of other ethnic minorities in Croatia; and 3) Croats from Serbia, in the status of ethnic minority, to the lowest extent incline towards ethnocentric attitudes and express lowest social distance towards members of the constituent peoples of former Yugoslavia in the status of ethnic minorities. The obtained results are interpreted within the context of threat perception theory and the results of other studies in the field of sociology of ethnic relations.
