Sažetak
The paper attempts to give an introductionary review of some conceptual aspects relating to the inter-linkage between religion (confessions) and ethnicity (ethnic communities). In his discussion the author emphasises that it is necessary, in comparing these two phenomena, to bear in mind the context of the concrete historical social sphere. In a brief socio-historical overview he accents the continuity of the intermixing of religious and ethnic communities. Both religion and ethnicity are in transformation, and their combination in contemporary societies opens up new questions (there is practically not an ethnic process which, in as much as it is not directly connected with religious motives, does not implicate a blending of religious aspects). Past and present processes tied to religion and ethnicity suggest that it is impossible to expect an unambivalent, undoubted and whole answer in respect to their possible manifestations and the essence of their inter-linkage.
