Banat Bulgarians The Banat Bulgarians (Banat Bulgarian: "Palćene" or "Banátsći balgare"; common Bulgarian: Банатски българи, "Banatski balgari" ; Romanian: "Bulgari bănățeni" ; Serbian: Банатски Бугари, "Banatski Bugari" ) are a distinct Bulgarian minority group which settled in the 18th century in the region of the Banat, which was then ruled by the Habsburgs and after World War I was divided between Romania, Serbia, and Hungary. Unlike most other Bulgarians, they are Roman Catholic by confession and stem from groups of Paulicians and Roman Catholics from modern northern and northwestern Bulgaria.
