Croats of Vojvodina

[Sisak]

There are about 56,546 Croats in Vojvodina or 2.78% of the population. Croatian is one of six official languages of Vojvodina. The largest concentration of Croats could be found in the municipalities of Apatin (11.47%) and Subotica (11.24%). In censa, some of the Bunjevci and most of Šokci of Vojvodina declare themselves as Croats. Also one part of Yugoslavs of Vojvodina were declaring themselves as Croats before 1971.
During 17th century, Roman Catholic Bunjevci from Dalmatia and Western Herzegovina migrated to Vojvodina, where Šokci had been living since the 8th century, and between 1689, when the Habsburg empire conquered parts of Vojvodina, and the end of the 19th century, a small number of Croats from Croatia migrated to the region.
Before the 20th century, most of the Bunjevac and Šokac populations living in Hungary (Vojvodina was at that time "southern Hungary") haven't been nationally awakened yet. Their leaders (like Ivan Antunović, Blaško Rajić, Pajo Kujundžić, Mijo Mandić, Lajčo Budanović, Stipan Vojnić Tunić, Vranje Sudarević, Petar Pekić) worked hardly to awake their Croatian national feelings.
