Mass Relocation and “Planned” Settlement of the Population
Keywords:
mass evacuation, exodus, relocation, crimeAbstract
The migrations of people caused by the 1991 war as well as some changes in the social and economic structures resulting from such migrations are examined. A brief survey of the colonization of Baranya in the recent past has been given. Also, a rough chronology of events that have taken place in the region since the outbreak of the war in 1991 up to the present, with the intention to point to the emergence of a new political and socioeconomic community in the region aspiring to achieve statehood, has been presented. A new colonization of Baranya as a crucial pre-condition for organization of a socio-political life in this newly founded community is discussed. What makes the basis of the study is an attempt to demonstrate, on one example taken from the practice in ex-Yugoslavia, the whole tragedy of the forced mass evacuation and relocation of people. The idea of relocation of people in ex-Yugoslavia began to become a reality in that very area.
