Abstract
The authors in the text provide data on the number of Hungarians in the Požeško-Slavonska, Virovitica-Podravina and Bjelovar-Bilogora counties in the last three censuses (1991, 2001 and 2011). Based on 24 interviews conducted in Daruvar and surrounding area, Grubišno Polje and surroundings, Virovitica and surroundings, Velika Pisanica and surroundings, Pakrac and surrounding area and Garešnica and surrounding area, the authors provide information on how migrations have been made to the area of western Slavonia, Bilogora, Virovitica podravina and Moslavina from Hungary, how did the Croat, German, Czech and Serb populations come to see new immigrants, what kind of intercultural relations were in the twentieth century, how Hungarians migrated back to Hungary, and to what extent the Hungarian national identity was preserved to the present, thanks to the preservation of language and religion (in reformed Christians and evangelicals). In addition to interviews, authors use all available literature, published sources, and archive material related to population censuses.
