Vojvodina, officially the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina is one of two autonomous provinces in Serbia along with Kosovo.
History[edit | edit source]
Yugoslav Wars[edit | edit source]
During the NATO's war on Yugoslavia, almost no Hungarians left, and 90% joined the military. A small number of Hungarian separatists tried to secede and put Vojvodina under Hungarian rule.[1]
Demographics[edit | edit source]
Many nationalities and ethnic groups live in Vojvodina, including Croats, Czechs, Hungarians, Jews, Roma, Romanians, Serbs, Slovaks, and Turks. In addition, 19,000 Rusyns live in the province, which is the only place in the world that officially recognizes them. The 300,000 Hungarians in Vojvodina have much better national rights than those in Romania and Slovakia. As of 2000, all these groups have education in their own languages through secondary school, and some or all have university classes in these languages. The parliament translates its proceedings into six languages.[1]
