Sažetak
The article deals with the (sub)ethnic group Bunjevci, inhabiting today different territories of southeastern Europe, as a result of the mobility on the Balkans throughout 17th century. The ethnonym Bunjevci stands for a group of ethnic Croats, originating from Dalmatia, southeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina, and forming three branches of the ethnic group of Bunjevci known as the Dalmatia, Primorje/Lika and Danube area Bunjevci. The holistic approach to the research of their cultural heritage, and the ethnocultural processes through which the Bunjevci have been formed as a distinct ethnic group, could contribute to the better understanding of the way in which the identity of an ethnic group has been, and is being, formed, as well as in which the manifold identites of each particular branch have been constructed as the result of the migration processes. The article examines the identities of Bunjevci branches' and the influence of the ethnic, cultural, social, historical, political, and ecological factors on the construction of the identity of each Bunjevci branch, outlining the differences in the process of creation of their identity, from subjective as well as objective point of view, based on the examples of some specific elements of the cultural heritage of Bunjevci.
