Abstract

The demographic development of Croatia in the period 1991-1994, marked by the Serbian aggression, the state of "half-war", and the war in Bosnia and Hercegovina, should be described as irregular - its components being determined by the above conditions. This proves especially true concerning forced migrations and their past and future influence on population change. The paper analyzes the insufficiently studied topic of war mortality, as well as various dimensions of the refugee population. It also emphasizes several structural characteristics of the population, particularly its ethnic structure, and the population dynamics in the temporarily occupied territories.

Keywords
