Sažetak
The article discusses the institutionalized form of Croatian ethnicity in Slovenia. It focuses on ethnic gatherings at Croatian ethnic associations, where eleven existing associations have been combined in a union as an umbrella organization. We used the survey questionnaire method with the leaders of the Croatian associations, and the discourse analysis method for newspaper and internet articles on the issue of the Croatian national minority in Slovenia. Using the ethnic situation model, we attempted to examine them in a wider historical- spatial perspective. The ethnic situation is a theoretical-observational model, which enables putting the observed ethnic situation into an appropriate synchronic (spatial) and diachronic (historical) context. The activities and organizational structure of the Croatian ethnic associations are mostly conditioned by and correlate to the ethnic situation in Slovenia as the host society, but also to the wider surrounding region and the European Union.
