Autonomy

The Autonomous Province of Vojvodina was established on September 1st, 1945, as an autonomous entity within Serbia, although it had several political predecessors such were Serbian Voivodship (1848-1849), Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat (1849-1860), Banat, Bačka and Baranja (1918-1919), and Danube Banovina (1929-1941). Proclaimed borders of Serbian Vojvodina in 1848 The Serbian Vojvodina (Serbian Dukedom, Srpska Vojvodina, Српска Војводина) was a Serbian autonomous region within the Austrian Empire. ... Voivodship of Serbia and TamiÅ¡ Banat and Principality of Serbia in 1849 The Voivodship of Serbia and TamiÅ¡ Banat was a voivodship (duchy) of the Austrian Empire that existed between 1849 and 1860. ...

Dunavska banovina map The Danube Banovina (or Danube Banate; Serbian and Croatian: Дунавска бановина Dunavska banovina) was a province (banate) of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia between 1929 and 1941. ...

In 1945, the amount of its autonomy was limited. Vojvodina's name was changed on April 7, 1963 to Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Under the 1974 constitution Vojvodina obtained extensive autonomy, and became one of the subjects of the Yugoslav federation.

On July 5, 1989 this extensive autonomy was largely revoked by Milošević's regime and the amount of autonomy of Vojvodina had became nominal and greatly limited. On March 28, 1990 the name of the province was reverted back to Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.

After the Bulldozer Revolution on October 5th, 2000, and change of the regime in the country, the amount of autonomy of Vojvodina was increased and is regulated by the Omnibus law from 2002. The Bulldozer Revolution is the colloquial name for the series of events that occured in 2000 in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, that culminated with the downfall of Slobodan Miloševićs regime. ... Omnibus law (Serbian: Omnibus zakon, Омнибус закон) was a law adopted in 2002 that regulated the current autonomous status of Vojvodina within Serbia. ...

Currently with Serbia's politicians planning a new constitution it is likely that Vojvodina will receive a new status regarding autonomy. The views about this differ greatly. Some are calling for Vojvodina to only have it's autonomy constitutionally guaranteed while others want Vojvodina to have the same status as Kosovo would under proposals being made by the Serbian government.

History of the autonomist movement

The movement for autonomy of Vojvodina was always lead by local Serbs, who were largest ethnic group in the region. The roots of the autonomist movement are dated in 1691, when Habsburg Emperor recognized the right of the Serbs to have one separate autonomous voivodship within the Habsburg Monarchy. The autonomy, however, was not realised in that time, and in 1790 (almost 100 years after the promise of the emperor), the Serbs organized their national assembly in Timişoara (today in Romania), where they asked for autonomy. These demands were, however, rejected by the Austrians. Serbs (Serbian: Срби or Srbi) are a South Slavic people who live mainly in Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and, to a lesser extent, in Croatia. ...

A Voivodship (also voivodeship, Romanian: voievodat, Polish: województwo, Serbian: vojvodstvo or vojvodina) was a feudal state in medieval Romania, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Serbia (see Vojvodina), ruled by a Voivod (voivode). ...

In 1848, as a response to the policy of the revolutionary Hungarian government, the Serbs, in accordance with right given in 1691, proclaimed the creation of an autonomous region named the Serbian Voivodship. This time, the autonomy was recognized by the Habsburg emperor, and in November 1849, a separate Habsburg province named the Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat was created as a political successor of the Serbian Voivodship. Proclaimed borders of Serbian Vojvodina in 1848 The Serbian Vojvodina (Serbian Dukedom, Srpska Vojvodina, Српска Војводина) was a Serbian autonomous region within the Austrian Empire. ...

Svetozar Miletić (1826-1901), political leader of Serbs in Vojvodina

However, since the policy of the Habsburgs towards Hungarians has changed, the Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat was abolished in 1860, and most of its territory was incorporated into Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary. As a response to the abolishment of the voivodship, the Serbs in 1861 organized national assembly known as the "Blagoveštenski Sabor", where they asked for reestablishment of the voivodship. The constitution of the voivodship was also adopted on the assembly. The rulers of the Monarchy, however, did not accepted these demands of the Serbs. Instead of it, the autonomy was in 1867 given to the Hungarians, and the Serbs found themselves in the Hungarian part of the Monarchy. The political struggle for autonomy of Vojvodina, however, was continued by the Serb deputies in the Hungarian parliament, until the end of the Monarchy in 1918.

A new opportunity for the autonomy of Vojvodina arisen in 1918, after the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. On November 25, 1918, the Great people's assembly of Serbs, Bunjevci and other Slavs from Vojvodina decided to join this region to the Kingdom of Serbia, as well as to form new autonomous government of Vojvodina known as the People's administration for Banat, Bačka and Baranja. Although, the government in Belgrade accepted the decision that Vojvodina join to Serbia, it did not recognized the People's administration. The People's administration was active until March 11, 1919, when it held its last session.

Since the autonomy was not realised, and the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was centralised country, the new autonomist movement emanated, again lead by local Serbs. The Danube Banovina, a province of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia formed in 1929, did not had a large amount of autonomy, thus the autonomist movement was also active after the creation of this province. The idea of autonomous Vojvodina was also accepted by the communist party, and after occupation of Vojvodina by the Axis Powers in 1941, the communist party and its partisan resistance movement started a struggle against the occupation. The aim of this struggle, as it was presented by the communist party, was a future autonomous Vojvodina in which all ethnic groups that live there would be equal. The Serbs, who were main victims of the Axis regimes, as well as other peoples of Vojvodina, participated in this struggle, and after the end of the war, the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina was established. The Kingdom of Yugoslavia was a Balkan state which existed from December 1, 1918 to mid-April 1941. ...

After much of the autonomy of Vojvodina was revoked by Milošević's regime in 1989, the new movement for autonomy of the province emanated, supported by both, the local Serbs, and the ethnic minorities. The view of the autonomist movement is that the revoking of the autonomy in 1989 had destroyed the economy of Vojvodina, thus for the improvement of the economy, Vojvodina need more autonomy. Unlike the political movement of Kosovar Albanians, the autonomist movement in Vojvodina never aimed to separation from Serbia, but only to large level of autonomy of Vojvodina within Serbia.
