HISTORY
Migration ...
The Serbs in Hungary represent historical minority and have been living in these territories for more than 300 years. The First Serbian Migration occurred during the Great Turkish War under Patriarch Arsenije III Čarnojević in 1690.
Paja Jovanovic: Migration of the Serbs
Small Serbian communities settled down in the provincial and urban areas. They avoided assimilation with the Hungarians due to their cyrillic letters, orthodox church, their customs and strong attachment to the mother country. Each Orthodox community had its elementary school until 1948. After the nationalisation these schools were closed and South Slavic Primary School and Dormitory was opened in Pomáz.
