Ruling coalition and opposition officials continue to argue over the draft Vojvodina statute and whether it encourages separatism. Ruling coalition officials in Vojvodina are content with the fact that the document has finally reached state parliamentary procedures. Ruling parties, opposition tangle over statute Ruling Democratic Party (DS) official in Vojvodina Dusan Elezovic told a B92 TV talk show late on Sunday that there have been no essential changes made to the document when comparing the draft sent to the parliament and the one that was adopted by the Vojvodina assembly a year ago. “As someone who lives in Vojvodina, I can be dissatisfied with the fact that this process lasted over a year, but I must say that I am happy that it is finally coming to an end, and the moment is coming when we will adopt the budget draft for next year, and then the proposed law for the transfer of authorities will be a part of the budget proposal,” Elezovic said. Opposition Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) deputy leader Slobodan Samardzic said that the goal of the Vojvodina statute is to separate the province from Serbia. “There are many things here that are separatist in the sense that they are separating Vojvodina as a legal notion, the Vojvodina citizens are being mentioned, because in Serbia, there is a clear formulation that autonomy is the right of citizens to autonomy." "Then, others can set up autonomies if they wish so. This postulates a completely closed group of people with a very unconstitutional term-category – the citizens of Vojvodina,” Samardzic said.
