Abstract

The presentation is based on the comparison analysis of the ethno-national identity of Hungarian minorities living in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia and Ukraine, including the identifications to majority community and the relationship with Hungary, respectively. We comparatively analysed the way in which ethnonational belonging and the identification to the citizen’s status functions among different ethnic Hungarian minority communities inside or outside of the European Union: Slovakia, Romania, Serbia (Vojvodina) and Ukraine, the effect of (ambivalent) mobilisation coming from Hungary in relation to the unity of the Hungarian ethnocultural nation. Second, we also aim to understand how citizenship and the relationship toward the state of residence is framed and reflected in the ethnonational identity of Hungarian minorities, and we are interested if this is affecting majority–minority relations and patterns.
