By "occupied territories" I assume you mean the former RSK areas in Croatia? That's what the Croats called these areas. I'll answer based on that assumption. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The FRY amended its citizenship law (in 2000, I think it was) so that applicants for citizenship from no longer had to renounce citizenship in other former Y republics to gain FRY citizenship. What I've read so far about the 2002 census clearly indicates that yes, it does include these refugees.

Another interesting point which some statisticians bring up is that, with the dual citizenship agreement between the FRY and Croatia, each country could theoretically count the same folks as citizens in their censes.

Thanks for the info about the citizenship law's amendment. My reference is to all the places from which the Serbs have been expelled -- i.e., eastern Croatia, western Bosnia, Kosovo south of Mitrovica.
