It's too early to speak about subsequent generations, but the first generation Croatian Serbs from the Krajina, refugees from the 1991-95 war, who are now living in Serbia certainly fall into the first category. It is in the part of Serbia where most of them live that the ultranationalist Radical Party is strongest.
(Of course, these refugees aren't an *ethnic* minority there, but they are a minority of sorts, easily distinguishable from Serbian Serbs by accent and some other factors.)
