The ruling parties in Vojvodina have given President Boris Tadic’s calls for Constitutional change a mixed reaction. Tadic recently opened a debate on changes to parts of the Constitution, including those pertaining to regionalization. Ruling parties divided over Constitutional change The Democratic Party (DS) says that the initiative should not delay the adoption of the law on the transfer of the province’s jurisdictions. Vojvodina Hungarian leader Istvan Pastor fears that Tadic’s initiative could lead to the adoption of the new statute and the aforesaid law being postponed once more. The League of Vojvodina Social Democrats (LSV) says that it is hard to comment on statements, whose background is unclear. Party leader Nenad Canak said that, in principle, he had nothing against the idea, adding that if it led to the a delay in the new statute’s adoption, he would not be shedding any tears. Vojvodina First Minister Bojan Pajtic, the DS’s top man in the province, said however that, as far he knew, the law on the transfer of jurisdictions was due to appear before the national parliament shortly. The Vojvodina Statute was adopted in the provincial assembly last October, since which time, it has been gathering dust in the national parliament. The statute cannot be applied until it, together with the jurisdiction law, is adopted in Belgrade.
