| Summary: | This paper explores the current migration of the Slovak community members of
Serbia to Slovakia, focusing on the issue of belonging. This is an example of
a ‘return’ migration phenomenon - where a certain number of minority members
return to their land of ancestors after having lived on the territory of
present-day Vojvodina for almost three centuries. The migration of Slovaks
from Serbia began in the late 1980s and early 1990s but in recent years it
has taken on much greater proportions. This paper is based on fieldwork
conducted in Bratislava in 2015 and 2017. [Project of the Serbian Ministry of
