Vojvodina - Vojvodina Vojvodina is a northern province of Serbia. Its capital is Novi Sad, the second largest town is Subotica. History The area of Vojvodina was inhabited ever since the Paleolithic and the Neolithic periods. Sirmium was an important Roman town. During the early medieval migrations, Slavs (Severans) settled today's Vojvodina in the 6th century, while the Magyars arrived in the 9th century. Only isolated pockets of Slavs remained and the region was ruled by Hungary until the 16th century. An increasing number of Serbs began settling from the 14th century onward. By 1483, according to a Hungarian source, as much as half of the population of the Kingdom of Hungary at the time would have been made up of Serbs. Another Hungarian source from the same.
Kingdom of Yugoslavia - development. Kingdom gained most of Dalmatiabut Zadarand few islands were given to Italy. Rijeka was declared a free city but was soon occupied and in 1924 annexed by Italy. On the Austrian border, a plebiscite was held in Carinthia which opted for Austria. From Hungary, SHS gained the Vojvodina, an area with a strong German and Hungarian minority. In 1920, Constitution was passed which established unitary monarchy. Serb politicians regarded Serbia as the standardbearer of Yugoslav unity, as Piedmont had been for Italy and Prussia for Germany. Over the years, Croat resistence against a Serbocentric policy increased. In 1928, Stjepan Radic, head of the Croatian Peasant Party, was shot in parliament by Punisa Racic. After that, King abolished the Constitution and introduced personal dictatorship. He changed the name of the country.

Eparchy of Krizevci - Krajina. Despite fierce tensions, the Serbs in were given their own eparchical bishop by Pope Pius VI on June 17, 1777, with his see at Križevci, a town northeast of Zagreb. Initially, he was made suffragan to the Primate of Hungary, later (1853) to the Latin Archbishop of Zagreb. The eparchy expanded to embrace all Uniates in Yugoslavia when the country was founded after World War I.

Differences in official languages in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia - below for full explanation. Morphology There are three variants of the Štokavian dialect that stem from different reflaction of proto-Slavic vowel jat. The jat appears in modern dialects in the following way: the Church Slavonic word for child, děte, is: dete in Ekavian dite in Ikavian dijete in Ijekavian The official language in Serbia and Montenegro recognises ekavian and ijekavian as equal variants while official language in Croatia uses only ijekavian. In Bosnia and Herzegovina (regardless of the official language) and Montenegro ijekavian is used almost exclusively. Ikavian is limited to dialectal use in Dalmatia, Istria, Western Herzegovina and northern Bačka (Vojvodina) and by.

Austria-Hungary - Empire (in fact the Cisleithan part contained about 57% of the combined realm's population and a rather larger share of its economic resources) were punctuated by repeated disputes over shared external tariff arrangements and the financial contribution of each government to the common treasury. Under the terms of the Ausgleich, these matters were determined by an agreement which was to be renegotiated every ten years, which created political turmoil each time the agreement was up for renewal. The disputes between the halves of the empire culminated in the mid-1900s in a prolonged constitutional crisis triggered by disagreement over the language of command in Hungarian army units, and deepened by the advent to power in Budapest (April 1906) of a Hungarian nationalist coalition. The common arrangements were renewed provisionally (October 1907, November.
Banat - counties of Timiş and Caraş-Severin), the western part to Serbia-Montenegro (the Serbian Banat, included in the Vojvodina) and a small northern part to Hungary (Csongrád county). It is the part of the Pannonian plain bordered by the Danube in the south, the Theiss (Tisza, Tissa, Tisa) in the west, the Mures (Maros) in the north and the Southern Carpathians in the east. The term Banat means generally a frontier province governed by a ban. There were several banats in Hungary, which disappeared during the Turkish wars, as the banat of Dalmatia, of Slavonia, of Bosnia and of Croatia. But when the word is used without any other qualification, it indicates the Timişoara banat, which strangely acquired this title after the peace of Passarowitz (1718), though it was never governed by a.
Bunjevatz - living in the Bačka/Bácska (today northern Serbia or Vojvodina) and southern Hungary, particularly in the Baja region. They migrated from their previous location into Bačka in several groups in 1682, 1686, 1687. Bunjevci also live in present-day Lika (Krajina), Western Herzegovina as well as the Dalmatian hinterland. There are several explanations for their name, most common of which is that it comes from the river Buna in Central Herzegovina, their supposed original homeland before their migrations. However, it is not exactly certain from which exact part of the Dinaric Alps the Bunjevci came. Due to the fact they speak the ikavian štokavian dialect of the Serbo-Croatian group, some claim that they originate from northwestern Herzegovina and northern Dalmatia. Historic documents also refer to Bunjevci as Dalmatians, Catholic Serbs (Catholic Rascians) as.

Politics of Serbia and Montenegro - of 2002, the nationalist Kostunica and the pragmatic Djindjic were openly at odds. Kostunica's party, having informally withdrawn from all DOS decisionmaking bodies, was agitating for early elections to the Serbian Parliament in an effort to force Djindjic from the scene. After the initial euphoria of replacing Milosevic's autocratic regime, the Serbian population, in reaction to this political maneuvering, was sliding into apathy and disillusionment with its leading politicians by mid-2002. This political stalemate continued for much of 2002, and reform initiatives stalled. Finally in February 2003, the Constitutional Charter was ratified by both republics, and the FRY Parliament and the name of the country was changed from Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro. Under the new Constitutional Charter, most federal functions and authorities devolved to the republic level..
