Paper long abstract:
The aim of the report is to study some aspect concerning the Vlachian movement activists' work in eastern Serbia (the territory bordering with Bulgaria and Romania) and relating in particular the preservation and development of their native language, as well as political and religious life. The report is based on the author's field data collected in 2013-2017 in the cities of Zaječar, Bor and Negotin. The materials were mainly collected by conducting non-structurized (free) interviews. Materials from web-sites and books created by the people referred to in the report, as well as mass-media materials, were also used in the report. The report covers only some aspects related to ethnic activism of the Vlachs (Romanians) of eastern Serbia. Questions concerning the activities of Vlachian activists aimed at the preservation, development and study of their ethnic group traditional culture require special consideration.
