  1997/02/20 21:34 CHANGED VOIVODINA
Hungarian parties have recognized the autonomy of Voivodina as a necessary condition for accomplishment of minority ethnic autonomy of the Hungarians.
The autonomy-lovers have in fact risen in order to fight for economic independence of Voivodina, in order to use its agrarian, industrial, natural resources - especially oil, but also educational and cultural potentials for the purpose of development, and they are aware that imperial all-Serb nationalism was their main opponent.
After all, Voivodina and Kosovo are not populated by the Serbians, so that it would be extremely ugly to deny the population of these regions the right to initiative and political pride.

 Electronic Banat
Voivodina, with a population of 1,6 million, became part of the Danube-Bánság with 2.1 million people, to which were attached the Szerémség (Srem) region and North-Eastern Serbia with 500,000 ethnic Serbs and several thousand Croatian, German and Slovak inhabitants.
At the expense of Voivodina’s own citizens, primarily of the ethnic nationality members who made up one-fourth of the population, its universities and colleges were used to train a large number of intellectuals and leaders with an alien mentality.
In some Voivodina localities where this party came to power, the SRD began to restructure the communities and to alter the original ethnic composition of the population through the final resettlement of refugees.

 Permanent Mission of Hungary to the United Nations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Even now, the political organizations of Voivodina's Hungarian national minority community and the experts of these organizations are working on an integrated, coherent, moderate, and realistic autonomy concept.
The Voivodina autonomy concept currently being drafted by the Hungarian national minority organizations of Voivodina is comprised of several components.
At the same time, one must realize - and the leaders of the Hungarian national minority community, too, appreciate this fact - that it would be impossible to exclude Voivodina entirely from the range of the airstrikes, as this would allow the Yugoslavs to concentrate their armed forces in Voivodina.

 Vilmos Ágoston - Autonomy
You might want me to give you exact amounts and percentages and compare these to the figures concerning the area where we live now, that is Voivodina, which was an autonomous territory for decades with its own constitution and quite a developed network of institutions for self-government.
In Voivodina, in the territory of our would-be autonomy, 60% of the cultivated area is private, and 40% is state property.
At least that was the reason when Voivodina was deprived of its old, traditional regional autonomy, and unfortunately the Serbian public believed this reasoning.

The proposal envisages free association with or dissociation from the Hungarian Autonomous Area for Voivodina's communities or settlements with a Hungarian majority Association, or accession to the Hungarian area would be decided either by the citizens in a referendum or by the new elected representative bodies after the first free, multi-party local-authority elections.

 Vilmos Ágoston - Autonomy
Although, none of the Hungarian national minority groups raise the issue of borders in the Carpathian Basin, the minority issue of the Hungarian nationalities is still an open and unsolved problem and a challenge for democracy in the East-Central European region.
Since the demands of the Hungarian minority group in Voivodina are well-defined and put down in clear-cut political documents, they can be presented at different international forums and they can serve as a good example for other Hungarian minority groups for autonomy in a democratic way.
In the present political situation it is a necessity for the legitimate factors of the Hungarian nationalities in the different East-Central European countries to cooperate and unite their forces.

 Serbia in the vicious circle of nationalism
However, Serbia's claim on Voivodina is best illustrated by the argument saying that Voivodina's remembrance naturally flows into the Serbian one, [since] the Serbian collective consciousness has always been the strongest in Voivodina, [and all to the benefit of the Serb factor and all those whowish to live with the Serbs].
Voivodina' political parties are polarized [around the question of] its autonomy, while Voivodina's electorate has entered the so-called expectation stage.
Cetkovic, Voivodina's political elite and a part of its intelligentsia pursue a shortsighted policy that, under the pretext of regionalism, attempts to impose "narcissistic," political separatism and provincialism.

The illegal and accelerated colonization of Voivodina in the form bringing in Serb settlers from outside Voivodina, with the intention of forcibly changing the ethnic balance of the region, in causing panic and distress amongst the local Hungarian population.

The Museum of Voivodina's building - Dunavska 37 has been seriously damaged.
Glass walls at the two floors, approximately 500m2, and almost all windows and doors at three levels (300m2) were broken and crashed.
Whatever damage done to museums and libraries (which is a lot more then many of us seem to realize: see: http://www.museum-security.org/bosnie.html) it is all of minor importance compared to the agony of refugees and the killing of innocent citizens.

 "If You Don't Give Us Autonomy, You Will Give us a Republic"
The increasingly loud warnings are coming from the informal bloc of Voivodina parties (led by the League of Social-Democrats of Voivodina – LSV and Reformists of Voivodina) that centralism is now greater than it has been under Milosevic.
The term became "scary" the moment pros and cons were presented in the course of Canak's participation in the discussion at the round table organised by the Washington Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
The opposing arguments were raised only regarding the status (whether Canak went to Washington as President of the Voivodina Assembly and if he did, why did he not consult the Parliament, or he was there just as the LSV leader).

Novi Sad is the cultural and economic capital of the rich northern Serbian province of Voivodina, a province remarkable for the good relations between the many different ethnic groups that live there, which include a large Hungarian minority, enjoying extensive cultural autonomy.
A fertile plain, Voivodina is both Serbia's "breadbasket", and undoubtedly the easiest part of the country to invade by foreign armies, thanks to the flat terrain.
It could be said that the population of Voivodina in general, and Novi Sad in particular, have very little interest whatsoever in Kosovo, other than to have served over the years as the land of economic opportunity for many Serbs, Albanians or others who have left Kosovo in search of a better life.

 The Hungarian Quarterly, VOLUME XLVII * No. 181 * Spring 2006
As a result, in 1922 the Hungarians of Voivodina formed the Hungarian Party which took on the impossible task of establishing itself as the sole frame in which the Hungarian minority's diverse economic, political and cultural ties were to be represented.
The Hungarian army that marched into the Voivodina treated Croats as "friends", but the Serbs and those parts of the population deemed to be "Serbian at heart"- Jews, Freemasons, Communists and all other left-wingers - were auto-matically classed as unreliable in regard to their "national loyalties".
The bloody civil war between the Chetniks and Com-munists bypassed the Voivodina, given that neither side could call on sufficient forces there, although it is also true that the open terrain- the flat country that is a continuation of the Great Plain- was ill-suited to major acts of armed resist-ance.

Whenever it disagrees with the ideas of Voivodina civil parties, which basically advocate decentralisation of Serbia and autonomy of the Province, Serbia accuses "parties which are in the majority in the Provincial Assembly", of trying to subsume Voivodina under the Greater-Hungary or Greater-Croatia project".
