These countries have always been part of a single civilization sharing cultural and intellectual values and common roots in diverse religious traditions, which they wish to preserve and further strengthen. The 2011 Censuses of Population and Housing were the first researches performed since V4`s accession to the European Union. Censuses constitute important moments in the life of a nation, as this is when the State asks its citizens – among others – „what`s your nationality”? In the study the author examines the phenomenon of the ethnic gap identification: 4,95 million citizens of the Visegrad Group who chose not to respond the questions relating to national and ethnic identity. Ethnicity, including dual ethnicity, was recorded - especially in the Czech Republic - as freely declared by the respondent’s wishes and on a voluntary basis, so a respondent could also refuse to report his or her ethnicity.
