	Centre for Russian and East European Studies
		The subject of my research is the different layers of identity among the Serbs of Vojvodina, and their implications for political preferences regarding the basic structure of the state, namely either for regional decentralisation and/or federalism, or for a centralised model of the ‘nation-state’.
		Subsequently, in the Titoist era, Vojvodina’s regional character was redefined in terms of a ‘multicultural society’, and this requires a historical perspective.
		The case of Vojvodina is particularly interesting because of the diversity of perceptions of identity among Vojvodina Serbs.
