Identitet Slovenaca u Zagrebu

Abstract

The authors bring information about the preservation of the national identity of Slovenes in Zagreb. According to the 2011 census, Slovenes in Zagreb number 2132 people, which is about 1/5 of all Slovenes in Croatia. Today, the Slovenian national minority in Croatia is the oldest national minority in Croatia. The average number of years according to the 2011 census was 59.7. This fact does not help Slovenian societies in Croatia, which have a very old membership. Preservation of national identity among Slovenes in Croatia is present primarily through the nurturing of the Slovene language, while the younger generations are more sus-ceptible to assimilation (especially those born in ethnically mixed marriages). The researchers tried to see how much the narrators are still connected to Slovenia and how much the Slovenes who visit the Slovene Home are connected to the Slovene society in Zagreb.
