	The Croatian Bunjevci
		BUNJEVCI are a Croatian sub-group, which one part colonized Lika and the Croatian Littoral, while the other part moved for the most part into Backa.
		From that point on, there are more references to the Bunjevci in Backa, who in many waves moved from northern Dalmatia, Lika, and the Croatian littoral, and some from Bosnia, but their arrival is documented at the end of the 18th century.
		The biggest manefestation of the unity between the Bunjevci and their Croat brothers was the majestic celebration in Subotica on August 14-16, 1936, as a rememberance of the 250 anniversary of the settling of one group of Bunjevci.

	Bunjevci
		Bunjevci also live in present-day Lika, western Herzegovina as well as the Dalmatian hinterland, but there they do not register as an ethnic group.
		After 1945, in Communist Yugoslavia the census of 1948 did not officially recognize the Bunjevci, and instead merged their data with the Croats, but otherwise did not try to assimilate them, given that the Bunjevac schools in Vojvodina also taught the Serbian version of the unified language.
		The community, however, has been divided around the issue of the name: in the 1991 census, in terms of ethnicity, around 20,000 declared themselves Bunjevci whereas some 25,000 declared themselves Croats; in 2002, there were again around 20,000 Bunjevci and around 55,000 Croats in Vojvodina (although not all of the Croats had Bunjevac roots).

		It is remarkable that despite the diversity of their ethnic origins, the citizens of Subotica (mainly Bunjevci and Hungarians) united in defending Subotica in the battle at Kaponya, March 5 1849.
		Between the end of the 17th century and the second half of the 19th century, the population of Subotica was mostly composed of ethnic Bunjevci.
		In this time, ethnic Bunjevci were not allowed to express their ethnicity, and citizens who declared themselves in census as Bunjevci were counted as "Croats".

		Migrations of our Bunjevci ethnic group into the Danube basin were organised by the Franciscans as part of the Catholic clergy which after the arrival also organised its monasteries in the larger settlements, such as Bač, Baja, Budim and other places in that part of Hungary.
		At the same time, on the other side of the border, in Hungary, Croats, Bunjevci and Šokci, were forbidden from any expression of national identity and many cultural institutions faded away, for example The Catholic Reading Room in Baja which resumed its work only in recent years in the democratic State of Hungary.
		If members and leaders of cultural associations from both sides of the border persist in their intentions of renewing the severed ties the results will be more positive and will develop faster to the joy of everyone.

		I googled and read tens of definitions of where the Bunjevci came from, tens of definitions of what their origin was (Vlachs and Illyrians, too!), written both by Bunjevac common people, Bunjevac historians and by other people, from the period of 1700 until the present day.
		When you count together those Bunjevci that declare themselves as Bunjevci and Yugoslavs their number is larger than the number of those that declare themselves as Croats.
		So, the "real" number of Bunjevci might include: declared Bunjevci, Bunjevci who declare themselves as Croats (which is not same with the number of Croats in Vojvodina), and Bunjevci who declare themselves as Yugoslavs, with some who declare themselves as Serbs and Magyars.

		The signatories express dissatisfaction with the practice of dividing the Croat people in northern Backa [area of Vojvodina], which is being implemented with clear support from state bodies since 2004.
		It adds that the latest example of this is the introduction of the Bunjevci language in schools in Vojvodina.
		While condemning those who are trying - without any grounds in science - to introduce the ikavica Bunjevci dialect instead of the Croatian literary language, the signatories demand that Serbia-Montenegro stop propagating the division of the Croat ethnic community in Vojvodina and to support the single literary language.

		The dispute turns on the following: Subotica Croats perceive Bunjevci as a cultural and ethnological specificity within the Croat ethnic body, and the latter perceive themselves as members of that cultural-ethnological specificity (Croat-Bunjevci) according priority to the ethnic specificity.
		On the eve of the census, Serbia's state media vigorously supported the Bunjevci ethnic specificity, but all the propagandastic hullabaloo notwithstanding, the results would not have been so impressive were it not for the authentic Bunjevci ethnic feeling.
		Ethnic intolerance is less felt in towns and is inversely proportional to the respondents' level of education.
