Vojvodina Assembly President Sandor Egeresi says Serbia's northern province "has to be granted internal autonomy and the possibility to form its own police". "Vojvodina needs to have internal autonomy, first of all in the domain of economy, but also in the area of legislature and partly in the field of judiciary," Egeresi said in an interview for the Novi Sad daily Dnevnik. "Vojvodina should have its own police" Noting that the police issue has triggered numerous polemics and criticizing of Vojvodina, he underlined that "in all democratic countries regions and local self-governments have a police of their own." "Thirty years ago, Vojvodina had a police which was successful and had a good reputation," he asserted, and asked "whether anybody nowadays claims that the existence of Vojvodina's police influenced the breakup of Yugoslavia", qualifying as "absurd" what he described as "present-day fears of Vojvodina". After the forthcoming elections, it will be necessary to resolve the issue of Vojvodina's constitutional jurisdictions by defining the model of the province's financing and, on the security field, by forming its police, Egeresi stated, and added: "I am under the impression that Vojvodina's reputation is higher in Europe than in Serbia. We must remove the prejudice about some kind of Vojvodina separatism. This is nonsense! Serbia must understand that a strong Vojvodina is its advantage in European (EU) integrations, rather than a problem, as it is being presented in some circles each time the issue of the provincial jurisdiction is raised." According to this official, "in a crisis, attention is often drawn to Vojvodina and its supposed separatist tendencies". Sandor Egeresi (Beta, file) Dnevnik Tanjug
