Standardised interviews - face-to-face

The population represented by the sample represents the population of Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Slovenia, aged over 25, based on the assumption that there was a very small possibility that anyone under the age of 25 could be a fully-fledged creator of a household or that they could directly report on the formulation and realization of strategies. The household was the unit of analysis.

In order to ensure a random sample, the Ipsos Adria standard method of random sampling was used.
