Attitudes and Opinions of the Croatian Displaced Persons Considering Peaceful Reintegration of the Croatian Danube Basin

The paper deals with the attitudes and opinions of the displaced from Croatian Podunavlje regarding the plan for peaceful reintegration in relation to their personal characteristics, intention to return, emotional attitude and characteristics of the place of displacement and experience of war and displacement. The data were processed by the non-parametrical contingency analysis and presented in relative frequencies. It was determined that attitudes and opinions were, in more or less varied degree, statistically significantly correlated to all variables-predictors. The highest correlation was observed between some personal characteristics (education, age and nationality) and criticism toward the plan, and the lowest correlation was found between experience of war and displacement and general opinion of the plan. The data confirm the thesis of Hocke (1989) that exclusively humanitarian approach to the problem of displacement without defining its political causes, proves inefficient.
