THE ROAD TO STABILITY AND PROSPERITY IN SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE (SEE): A REGIONAL STRATEGY PAPER March 1, 2000 World Bank, Washington, DC, WB 2000 http://www.seerecon.org./News/2000/0313wb-rssee.htm Major Ethnic Groups In SEE Countries (a): Country Population (in millions) / Major Ethnic Groups Bosnia and Herzegovina 4.3 / Bosniacs (38%), Serbs, (40%), Croats (22%), Roma (1%) (b) Croatia 4.8 / Croats (78%), Serbs (12%), Roma (1%) (b), Others (9 %) FYROM 2.1 / Macedonians (66%), Albanians (23%), Turks (4%), Roma (3%) (b), Serbs (2%), Other (2%) FRY 10.5 / Serbs (63%), Albanians (14%), Montenegrins (6 %), Hungarians (4%), Roma (4%) (b), other ethnicities (9%) Albania 3.3 / Albanians (95%), Greeks (3%), Roma (3) (b) Romania 23.3 / Romanians (89%), Hungarians (9%), Roma (9%) (b) Bulgaria 8.2 / Bulgarians (85%), Turks (9%), Roma (3%), Macedonians (3%) (a). These data in some cases are not consistent with nationally reported statistics. For instance, Romanian Government statistical estimates for 1999 are: Romanians, 90%; Hungarians, 7%; and Roma 4%; and total population is estimated at 22.5 million. In Bulgaria, according to the 1992 census, only about 10,000 people (0.1 percent of the population) identified themselves as Macedonian. (b). Overall country statistics, particularly concerning Roma populations, do not reconcile to 100 percent due to rounding of numbers and use of differing sources and should be viewed as expressing magnitudes rather than definitive statements. Source: General statistics are from Amnesty International. Statistics on Roma are from Liegeois, J-P., Roma, Gypsies, Travelers, Council of Europe, 1994. Statistics for successor states of the Former Yugoslavia may not be completely accurate due to impacts of ethnic cleansing and displacement across national borders related to conflict.
