I here that they are not happy. They feel oppressed and believe they do not have equal representation, their region is not developed like the beautiful capital of Serbia. I guess they think that being independant may serve their cause. You will not disagree that everytime a Autonomy or republic becomes independant it takes years and for some centuries before they are able to prosper. Econims and experience is a key factor.

Well, if we're talking about national minorities - for example, Hungarians in Vojvodina can live normaly their whole lives without ever having to learn serbian language. So much for opressed.
As for development - no region in Serbia is as developed as Belgrade. And Vojvodina is more prosperous than most, if not all, other parts of Serbia (yes, apart from Belgrade). Anyway, that's not a good enough reason for secession.
As for representation - that can be arranged. We'll see what the new serbian Constitution will look like.

Yeah, well... that depends on many things...
