NOVI SAD The idea of Vojvodina has never been an idea of a state within a state, but an idea of a common life, says Vojvodina Executive Council Chairman Bojan Pajtic. He stressed that political divisions must not be created on the idea of Vojvodina and that one should learn from its rich history. Vojvodina is not “state within state” “Vojvodina’s autonomy is not based on weaker but on stronger Serbia,” he said on Saturday. “Serbia’s attitude toward Vojvodina is Serbia’s attitude toward itself,” Pajtic said at a ceremony marking the 94th anniversary of Banat, Backa and Baranja's accession into Serbia. He said that nationalistic phrases needed to stop in Serbia and that the country needed to turn toward the future. "The decision on the accession was far-reaching and very important, because otherwise we would not be here today," Pajtic stated, stressing there had been no dispute about national unification and the decision was unanimous. He listed some important figures from Vojvodina's history and said they were all able to set apart the important for the unimportant, that Serbia should have learned to recognize the future from them and not to collect political points through divisions. "Vojvodina's autonomy is not based on the 1848 duchy nor on great national assembly of 1918, but on the future," he noted, underscoring that the integrity of the country should be protected but that also steps should be made to move Serbia closer to the world surrounding it, meaning Europe without borders. A unanimous decision was made to incorporate Banat, Backa and Baranja to the Kingdom of Serbia by Great National Assembly of Serbs, Slovaks, Bunevci and other Slavs on November 25, 1918 in Novi Sad.

“Vojvodina’s autonomy is not based on weaker but on stronger Serbia,” he said on Saturday.

“Serbia’s attitude toward Vojvodina is Serbia’s attitude toward itself,” Pajtić said at a ceremony marking the 94th anniversary of Banat, Bačka and Baranja's accession into Serbia.

He said that nationalistic phrases needed to stop in Serbia and that the country needed to turn toward the future.
