Since gaining independence mostly included many years of war and conflicts, many of the newly formed minorities were forced to migrate. This paper aims at showing the permanent migrations of co-ethnic population, i.e. migrations into the ethnic homeland. The autor analyses the importance of culture in the creation of cohesion in a community and the symbolic creation of boundaries between newly arrived and autochthonous population of the same ethnic religious identity.
