Dobro došli

Bosnian

An estimated 350,000 Bosnian Americans live in the US. Most arrived as refugees during and after the 1992–1995 war and rebuilt their lives in a remarkably short time, many by starting businesses.

Serbian

About 176,000 Americans report Serbian ancestry in recent Census estimates. Community organizations put the number much higher, since many families once reported "Yugoslav".

Dobrodošli

Montenegrin

Montenegrin Americans are hard to count because the Census doesn't separate them from related groups. Estimates range from about 40,000 to 100,000.
