Vojvodina Assembly Speaker Sandor Egeresi says that there are no separatist tendencies in the province’s draft statute. The speaker said that the draft represented a great leap in Vojvodina’s judicial, institutional and political position, compared to its current status. "No separatism in Vojvodina" At a rally entitled “Decentralization of Serbia—the Constitution, the Vojvodina Statute, and Regional Development,” he said that the solution on offer was not optimal, but that it was in accordance with the Constitution and that it represented political reality. "The Statute cannot go beyond constitutional boundaries, and the current Vojvodina authorities have no intention of doing so,” Egeresi underlined. He said that the draft Statute, among other things, emphasized Vojvodina’s unity with Serbia on its common path to the EU, a multi-cultural society and a multi-denominational province, and that it guaranteed ethnic and sexual equality. Deputy Parliamentary Speaker Gordana Comic said that those who had drafted the Statute were obliged to get all the actors in the process involved in the debate on the draft, in order for the final outcome to benefit all the citizens of the province and Serbia. She said that Serbian society nurtured stereotypes and biases about decentralization, sexual equality and national issues that were hampering adoption of the Statute. Director of the Novi Sad Regionalism Center Aleksandar Popov said that his NGO would propose a amendment to the part of the Constitution referring to Serbia’s territorial layout. Popov said that the Serbian Constitution had been adopted without a public debate, but with the agreement of the political parties, even though the president and government had earlier suggested two different constitutional concepts that were never discussed.
