At this moment they are insisting in adding Bunjevački language to the list of official languages in Voivodina, since Croatian is already there, and in having their own school system. Needless to say, Croatians strongly object it, saying that there is no such thing as "Bunjevački language", and that those actions are the continuation of oppression and denying rights of Croats in Serbia.
Edit: I forgot to add: on the other hand, more than 30,000 Bačka Bunjevci do declare as Croats. In Subotica, the situation is 50-50 more-less.
And as for Dubrovnik, they were not "Catholicised", since many of them weren't Orthodox in the first place. Which, of course, didn't prevent them to declare as they felt it was appropriate. The same goes for Cavtat.

Sorry for my mistake about Bunjevci.I don't know them much as I know Catholics from Hercegovina.
