Abstract

This paper explores the current migration of the Slovak community members of Serbia to Slovakia, focusing on the issue of belonging. This is an example of a ‘return’ migration phenomenon - where a certain number of minority members return to their land of ancestors after having lived on the territory of present-day Vojvodina for almost three centuries. The migration of Slovaks from Serbia began in the late 1980s and early 1990s but in recent years it has taken on much greater proportions. This paper is based on fieldwork conducted in Bratislava in 2015 and 2017.
