Vojvodina is the last of the various republics and provinces associated with Serbia in the old Yugoslavia. Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Montenegro have all voted and/or fought wars to get away. And now Vojvodina with its Hungarian minority wants more freedom as well. More on Vojvodina below; the last sentence is good advice for the Serbs.

Leader of the Social-Democratic League of Vojvodina, Nenad Čanak, said that the success of the Montenegro independence referendum is proof that no one wants to live in a union with Serbia.

“Serbia no longer has any excuses. It is obvious that no one wants to live with this kind of Serbia in a union, and it is time for the people in Serbia to ask themselves why this is so.” Čanak said.

He said that the victory of the option for Montenegrin independence represents a “big day” in Serbia as well, which on this day, has regained independence “undeservingly.”

Čanak said that Montenegro will have a much better chance for European integration and that the referendum was exceptionally well organised.

Leader of the Association of Vojvodina Hungarians, Jožef Kasa, said that he was rooting for Montenegro independence.

“I expected this result. I would like to congratulate those who wanted to restore the independence of Montenegro. Montenegro has a long tradition of independence and I am sure that they will move faster and more effectively towards Europe. Unfortunately, they have left us to lay in the bed we have made for ourselves.” Kasa said.

“I was rooting for Montenegrin independence, so that Serbia can finally turn its attention to itself and stop finding excuses for its foolish mistakes in others.” Kasa said.

I've worked with Bosnians, Macedonians and Kosovars, and from them I gather that Serbians have spent centuries making themselves unpopular.

Cmaru jedan is how they described Serbians.

So you can't wait to sell out the last piece of Serbian land, can you, Ustashi?

What, have you run out of film footage of Albanians burning Orthodox Churches to dance to?

I'm glad you really didn't serve in the US military, you would disgrace our colors.

So the Serbs "should give the Hungarians Vojvodina" -- and then the last of the WWII Nazi allies would all have what they couldn't conquer on their own during WWII.

Gee, I am sure that Hitler would be smiling from his grave should that happen!

Vojvodina Parliamentary Speaker Bojan Kostreš said...

This guy has a high school diploma - that's his education. I know him because we're from the same city and I'd seen him around. Once he went to Novi Sad (the provincial capital), he rather quickly received a degree from the University of Novi Sad. Uneducated provincial loudmouth - that's what he is.

I could've kicked his ass once at a pub. Dang, I should've!

Nonsense, Hungarians are too small minority to demand anything, only 14% according to national census 2002 .
