The second is checking and recording their preparedness for "return" to mother-country through complex set of activities and arrangements: return, capital investments, know-how and skills investments, preservation and strengthening cultural identity of our people abroad and development their links with the ethnic/cultural background and inheritance. Glavni ciljevi realizacije ove teme su dvojaki. Prvi cilj je sticanje uvida u obim, strukturu, karakteristike svakodnevnog zivota, stavove i planove nasih ljudi koji zive u inostranstvu kao pripadnici cetvrte i pete generacije emigranata. Drugi cilj je utvrdjivanje njihove spremnosti za povratak u zemlju maticu, kroz slozen sindrom fizickog povratka ili "virtuelnog" povratka, kroz kapitalne investicije, investiranje stecenog "intelektualnog kapitala" u drustveni razvoj zemlje, ali i osnazenja drustvenog i kulturnog identiteta nasih ljudi u rasejanju i jacanja njihovih veza sa etnokulturnim zaledjem i nasledjem.
