NOVI SAD Bojan Pajtic has rejected requests to resign and to withdraw a draft declaration on Vojvodina’s rights. The Vojvodina Executive Council president told Beta news agency that the draft declaration on protection of Vojvodina’s constitutional and legal rights would be on the agenda of Vojvodina Assembly’s Committee for Constitutional and Legal Affairs soon. I won’t resign, provincial government head says “We cannot give up on asking that citizens get five times as much as funds than they are getting today, because this is how much belongs to them. It is more than ironic to accuse the Vojvodina government of not doing enough for the citizens in the province and that the economy in Vojvodina is suffering because of the provincial government. No, it is suffering because constitutional guarantees are not respected. And we will not give up protecting the rights of the citizens of Vojvodina,” Pajtic stressed. He accused the Serbian government of using Vojvodina’s assets thanks to certain regulations. Pajtic reiterated that there was not a single word in the declaration that called for separatism. Commenting on graffiti that called for Vojvodina to become a republic, he stressed that neither the provincial government nor assembly advocated such ideas. “In the draft declaration we only asked for constitutional protection for the financing of Vojvodina. We did not ask for any other power or a dinar more for Vojvodina and its citizens than what belongs to them according to the Constitution and the country’s existing laws,” he explained. The Vojvodina Executive Council chairman rejected a possibility that the provincial government would fall, adding that it had a two-thirds majority in assembly. “As long as it has support in assembly, that it got in the elections in a completely legal and legitimate way, the government in this form will exist and it will consist of parties that make it today. The opposition is aware too that there will be no early elections in the province,” he noted. The Democratic Party (DS), League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV) and Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM) have the majority in Vojvodina’s assembly. Bojan Pajtic (Tanjug, file) Beta
