Slovenia is a small country located in the place where south-western corner of Central Europe meets the Western Balkans. Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia from 1991 and the act of national minorities of 1994 granted Italian and Hungarian national minorities with the status of self-governing commonwealths and the Rom minority with the status of an ethnic group. They have the right to choose their own representatives in the city council if at least 10 people who belong to the national minority or the Rom ethic group live in the city. City councilors representing the Italian and Hungarian commonwealths as well as the Rom ethnic group create structures that represent their interests. The Italian and Hungarian commonwealths have the right to one parliamentary mandate in the National Assembly. The Italian commonwealth is concentrated in the seaside area, and the Hungarian commonwealth in Prekmurje. The authorities of the independent Republic of Slovenia are of the opinion that the status of people belonging to the national minorities originating from the nations of the former Yugoslavia will be regulated by the laws of Slovenia and the European Union. The way that ethic problems are solved in Slovenia can be regarded as exemplary.

In the last twenty years we have been able to observe an increase in the significance of regional and ethnic identities (“reethnification”), and a resultant proliferation of ethnoregional and regional groupings. But although ethnoregionalist parties (ERP) are widespread in both Western and Central and Eastern Europe, there remains surprisingly little literature differentiating between the various kinds of ethnoregionalist parties and dealing with the lack of common definition of this kind of political actors. Some scholars even propose using a broader term – ethnic party. Moreover, over the years many scholars have believed (and some continue to) that their emergence in multicultural societies conjures up the politicisation of ethnic division and – practically inevitably – leads to “ethnic outbidding”, threatening to the stability of democracy. In the first part of the paper, the author deals with the conceptualisation of ethnoregionalist parties, examining the diversifications of their demands and strategies and showing that to gain voters they can invoke a much broader repertoire of strategies than the ethnic outbidding model suggested. The second part of the article is devoted to the problem of operation of selected ERPs in Serbia and Croatia. The analysis covers Hungarian parties in Serbia and Serbian ones in Croatia. In the concluding remarks, the author tries to point out the main reasons for the changes in their strategy (as well as demands) over time.

Na przestrzeni ostatnich dwóch dekad możemy obserwować wyraźny wzrost znaczenia regionalnych i etnicznych tożsamości, prowadzący do powstawania coraz większej liczby ugrupowań etnoregionalnych i regionalnych. Mimo to – podobnie jak w przypadku wielu innych, istotnych i aktualnych współcześnie zjawisk społecznych – zdania badaczy w kwestii przyczyn reetnicyzacji systemów partyjnych, funkcjonowania partii etnoregionalnych, ich typów czy relacji z demokracją pozostają podzielone. Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie toczącej się w tym zakresie dyskusji oraz zaprezentowanie na jej tle wstępnych wyników badań dotyczących funkcjonowania wybranych ugrupowań etnoregionalnych w Serbii i Chorwacji.

In the grip of ethnicity? The functioning of selected ethnoregionalist parties in Serbia and CroatiaIn the last twenty years we have been able to observe an increase in the significance of regional and ethnic identities (“reethnification”), and a resultant proliferation of ethnoregional and regional groupings.

Wybrane partie etnoregionalne w Serbii i Chorwacji (1990–2012)Na przestrzeni ostatnich dwóch dekad możemy obserwować wyraźny wzrost znaczenia regionalnych i etnicznych tożsamości, prowadzący do powstawania coraz większej liczby ugrupowań etnoregionalnych i regionalnych.

The article presents a case study of one of ethnoregional parties – Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania. The party was established in 1990 and has become one of the primary political powers in Romania. The author of the article relies on unique sources and the results of qualitative research. She presents the program of the party which is a modern mixture of ethnic and national postulates as well as the organizational structures and politics of the party, all seen from the perspective of ethnoregionalism. As a result, the reader receives answers to a series of more general questions connected with the current status and challenges that the group of the “New Politics” party introduces into the party systems.

The article presents an interesting linguistic phenomenon from the Bulgarian internet area. The comments under articles, which subjects are Bulgarian political ethnic parties as well as political events in Turkey, contain increased number of words of Turkish origin. They can be classifi ed in several subject groups. Not only lexical means are observed but also word-formation means, such as suffi x -оглу (Биневоглу). The users also are authors of diff erent kind of linguistic innovations, such as phrase innovation (бял кахър – баш кара кахър) or proverbial innovation (Който плаща гранта, той поръчва кючека).

The article compares ethic parties in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The author reconstructs the context in which ethnic parties were established, development of the organizations as well as their ideological profile. The second part of the article is devoted to the role that the parties played in the processes of inter-party competition, especially on the national level. Due to the fact that the parties in Latvia and Lithuania managed to obtain seats in the European Parliament, the article emphasizes their role in programming the interests of national minorities in Europe.

The aim of the article is to show the multiplicity and diversity of Hungarian ethnic parties existing in the years 1990-1998 within the party system of Slovakia, before the emergence of the Hungarian Coalition Party - Strana mad’arskej koalicie (SMK) in 1998. This text focuses on answering the following questions: (1) who were the parties’ leaders and elites, and whether it is justified to talk about the continuity of personal representation of minorities since 1990; and (2) who voted for different Hun­garian minority parties and whether their unification into the SMK brought with it an electoral bonus. An additional aspect of this is the position of the analyzed parties in the competitive system. The text also tries to answer the question of whether the creation of the SMK led to an intensification of the national split within the Slovakian party system.

Celem artykułu jest pokazanie wielości i różnorodności partii węgier­skich funkcjonujących w latach 1990-1998 w systemie partyjnym Słowacji, a zatem przed powstaniem w 1998 r. Partii Węgierskiej Koalicji - Strana mad’arskej koalicie (SMK). Tekst ten koncentruje się na odpowiedzi na pytania: 1) kim byli ich liderzy i elita partyjna - czy można mówić o ciągłości personalnej reprezentacji mniejszości od 1990; oraz 2) kto głosował na poszczególne partie mniejszości węgierskiej. Wąt­kiem marginalnym, będzie refleksja na temat, jakie miejsce zajmowały analizowane partie w układzie rywalizacyjnym. Tekst też próbuje odpowiedź na pytanie, czy po­wstanie SMK oznaczało intensyfikację konfliktu narodowościowego w słowackim systemie partyjnym.
