  In this second paper, we are attempting to demonstarte the changes in the political/citizenshiprelated and cultural-historical national identity of the Hungarian ethnic minority in Vojvodina.
  With the end of Yugoslavia as a country this ethnic minority became Serbian citizens. The new
  leaders of Serbia had an adverse view on this ethnic minority until 2014 when the Serbian
  political leaderership changed their political identity and favoured the West instead of EasternEurope.The financial aid provided by the Hungarian Government to the Hungarians living in
  Vojvodina, which targeted cultural and economic development in the area, aimed to better the
  life and strenghten the national identity of this ethnic minority. Those who received financial
  aid developed a better outlook on life. The possibility to acquire Hungarian citizenship easily strenghtened the Hungarian national identity of this minority and contributed to population
  decline. While people migrating to Hungary are primarily motivated by access to better
  education, others migrate to Western Europe for work.
