2000年，欧洲联盟（欧盟）将成员资格扩大到西巴尔干地区;然而，这些国家以不同的速度采取了不同的政治道路加入欧盟。人口普查是加入欧盟的条件之一，也是欧盟法律关于统计的第十八章的一部分。本文旨在解释的变化，在2010年人口普查在克罗地亚，波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那和前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国考虑两个欧洲化机制：（a）的条件和（B）欧盟法规在该地区的人口普查的合法性。虽然条件性评估欧盟奖励/压力和国内采用成本之间的成本效益计算，合法性分析欧盟人口普查条例是否会被接受的基础上，他们的适当性的看法。将使用一致性分析来比较欧洲化机制对受调查国家人口普查的有效性。研究报告的结论是，在克罗地亚，合法性的影响最大，而波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那以及前南斯拉夫的马其顿共和国的情况则可以用附加条件来更好地解释。因此，这项研究有助于最近的研究结果，条件性以及合法性问题的研究欧洲化。
In 2000, the European Union (EU) extended the membership perspective to the Western Balkans; however these countries have taken different political paths towards EU accession at different speeds. The population census is one of the conditions for EU accession and part of the eighteenth acquis chapter on statistics. This article seeks to explain the variation in census-taking in the 2010 census round in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia considering two Europeanisation mechanisms: (a) the conditionality and (b) the legitimacy of the EU regulations in the area of census-taking. While conditionality assesses the cost-benefit calculation between the EU rewards/pressure and domestic adoption costs, legitimacy analyses whether the EU census regulations will be accepted based on their perception of appropriateness. Congruence analysis will be used to compare the effectiveness of the Europeanisation mechanisms on the censuses in the countries under investigation. The study concludes that in Croatia legitimacy had the most impact, whereas the cases of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia can be better explained by conditionality. Therewith this study contributes to the recent findings that conditionality as well as legitimacy matter for research on Europeanisation.
