Abstract: (RO) The rececntly published biligual Serbian/ Romanian book on the Serbs in Romania in die age of communism, authored by Andrej Milin, Miodrag Milin and Cvetko Mihajlov, is a result of years-long research into the situation of an cthnic minority in Romania in a recent period of history. The situation of the Serbian minority in Romania during the communist era is one of the key issues in understanding the relations between Yugoslavia and Romania after the Second World War. As a direct consequence of the Resolution of the Com inform of 1948, which expelled Yugoslavia from the communist bloc, the Serbian minoritywas subjected to political and economic pressure and various forms of assimilation and acculturation. Their minority institutions were abolished, religious schools closed down, there ensued individual arrests and trials, and forced group relocation to die Bäragan Plain. Having refused to comply with the Corn-inform Resolution, the Serbian minority came to epitomize the "traitor" and "enemy" of the political system in Romania.
