Predmet istraživanja u ovom radu su populacije koje su se u popisima stanovništva održanih u razdoblju 2001./2002. – 2021./2022. nacionalno izjasnili kao Hrvati u Srbiji i Srbi u Hrvatskoj. Svrha istraživanja je utvrditi sličnosti i razlike u odabranim dinamičkim i strukturnim demografskim pokazateljima između ove dvije manjinske zajednice, kao i u njihovom odnosu na ukupno i većinsko stanovništvo Srbije i Hrvatske, s ciljem procjene njihove demografske održivosti u budućnosti. U istraživanju je primijenjena deskriptivna i komparativna metoda, a brojčani rezultati su prikazani u agregiranim analitičkim tablicama. Navedena tema promatrana je u općem dinamičkom demografskom okviru koji je za obje zemlje i za obje manjinske populacije izrazito depopulacijski. Uz negativnu demografsku dinamiku obje populacije u promatranom razdoblju karakteriziraju i nepovoljni procesi u formiranju parcijalnih demografskih struktura, napose biološkoj (dob i spol), koja zahvaljujući ubrzanom starenju stanovništva, sve više postaje ograničavajućim čimbenikom njihove dugoročne demografske održivosti.

In this article the traditional and modern elements of the identity of Serbs in Croatia are analysed. The author identifies the following key elements or markers of this identity: Christian Orthodox faith, use of Cyrillic alphabet, social and political preferences and values, concern for the status of their ethnic community, loyalty to specific organisations that represent their community, and memories of the Second World War, i.e. loyalty to Partisans. This article presents results of in-depth interviewing of a large number of ethnic Serbs from different regions of Croatia. The author concludes that following the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Serb identity in Croatia has been through an ambivalent process. On one hand, there is a process of re-traditionalisation and "reviving of identity", which had been neglected in the times of Yugoslavia. On the other hand, due to the war of the 1990s, Serb ethnic community in Croatia has been significantly reduced, and there are new fears - especially of the trend of assimilation. Many Serbs have left Croatia and will not return. Thus, it is possible that the Serb community is facing disappearance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
