The execution of Covid-19 vaccination drives in former Yugoslavia's successor states has been disappointing. The rapidly evolving literature on the Covid-19 pandemic suggests the levels of support for vaccination are correlated with education, trust in public-health institutions, and exposure to the negative economic and health effects of the pandemic. The explanations of the political foundations of vaccination hesitancy, however, need better empirical grounding. We shed light on this subject by analyzing the results of a survey conducted on more than six thousand respondents from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, and Serbia, as well as a combination of public-health, economic, and sociodemographic data across more than five hundred municipalities in Croatia. Most notably, we find the political sources of vaccination hesitancy to be strongly related to people's support for the ideas of political parties committed to nationalist populism.
在前南斯拉夫的继承国开展的新冠疫苗接种工作令人失望。关于新冠疫情的文献迅速发展，表明对疫苗接种的支持程度与教育水平、对公共卫生机构的信任以及受疫情负面经济和健康影响的程度相关。然而，对接种犹豫的政治基础的解释需要更好的实证依据。我们通过分析对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、克罗地亚和塞尔维亚的六千多名受访者进行的一项调查结果，以及克罗地亚五百多个市镇的公共卫生、经济和社会人口数据的综合情况，来阐明这一主题。最值得注意的是，我们发现接种犹豫的政治根源与人们对致力于民族主义民粹主义的政党理念的支持密切相关。
