Vojvodina parties want "provincial president" 21 November 2007 The LSV and the SVM have presented new proposals for Vojvodina’s administrative status today.
Under the League of Vojvodina Social-Democrats (LSV) and Union of Vojvodina Hungarians' (SVM) proposal for Vojvodina’s status, the province would have a president, government, ministers and ombudsmen.
At a news conference today in Belgrade, LSV President and MP Nenad Èanak outlined that the basis of the proposal was “to bring Vojvodina’s position into line with the Serbian system as a whole” and to avoid unnecessary overlapping of provincial and state competencies.
“The state communicates directly with local self-government and thus ignores provincial bodies,” said Èanak, adding that the proposal did not contain anything unconstitutional.
The LSV leader stressed that it had been proposed to form a provincial district in order to prevent Vojvodina authorities becoming centralized.
SVM President Ishtvan Pastor stressed that Vojvodina’s Hungarian community considered Serbia to be their nation and “that its prospects matter greatly to us.”
According to Pastor, the proposal envisaged the formation of a National Council for resolving matters considered important for preserving national identity.
Asked why the proposals had been presented in Belgrade first, Èanak and Pastor replied that support already existed in Vojvodina for the proposal, though the national parliament’s consent was necessary for its adoption.

Pats of this article are idiotic for several reasons: 1. Vojvodina already has a government. 2. It already has ministers. 3. It already has a president. He is elected by the assembly, not by the people. 4. There is no overlap of jurisdiction.
The only thing that they really want new is an Ombudsmen -- I have nothing against that.
This statment is total bs. If a provincial district is made it means that the current 7 that exist in Vojvodina would have to be abolished and that Vojvodina must be Centralized. This man is a scumbag lying to get his politicla ends.
If Vojvodina's districts are abolished and merged then the same should be done in the rest of Serbia (into 3 regions- Sumadija, Podrinje, Istok). Since only in that case would a decentralized Serbia occur.
Personally. My model for serbia's centralization would be abolishing Vojvodina.
Such a National Council existed in SCG. It doesn't exist any more since it existed due to a federal law. This statement is correct.
