Autonómiák I.

"Accelerated pace on autonomy", "Vojvodina's charter in the making", "Warning facts", "Referendum on Vojvodina?", "I am not a supporter of secession", "Unacceptable Belgrade attitude?", "Vojvodina can exercise its jurisdiction", "Nenad Čanak doubts" - these are just some of the newspaper headlines from late November 2001.

Media reports indicate that a political "tug-of-war" is underway between the Vojvodina and Serbian authorities regarding the restoration of Vojvodina's autonomy, which was effectively abolished by the Milošević constitutional amendment of March 28, 1989 (appendices IX to XLIX). After the so-called Yogurt Revolution, the province's previously extensive autonomy was reduced to the "right to propose," and in the republican constitution, it became "a matter of the republic's territorial organization." In the last ten years, everything that generations had created has been destroyed.
