This census witnessed the forming of the Bosniak
nation; although there are still people who declare themselves as Muslims by nationality
. Also, there are very few people left who consider themselves Yugoslavs. Also a noticeable difference compared to 1991 census is the reemerging in the number of Serbs, from nearly 60,000 to 200,000 in a decade (compared to 1931s 90% strong Serb community).
Others include small ethnic groups of perceived non-European/Slavic origins: Roma, Balkan Egyptians and Black Montenegrins whom are thought to be local Turks.
