Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to complement the knowledge about mutual influence on ethnic groups on the Vojvodina Region (the north part of Serbia), as the phenomenon that may appear as the consequence of cohabitation. It is in the function of forming the Vojvodinian cohabitation model (VCM) checking stances offered by poll, the opinion was got from the participants that belong to different ethnic groups. The best evaluated stance was the one that says that intercultural exchange of experience advanced the life quality. This paper intends to say that the interethnic conflicts permanently kept media’s attention. Almost nobody noticed that mixed marriages are an example of the international love. The research has shown that the evaluation of a certain stance depends on the ethnic structure of certain settlements. Participants who during their lives had more experience from cultural exchanges, could see and understand its importance.
