The discreet struggle for autonomy in Vojvodina, Serbia

SERBIAN nationalists are outraged over a new autonomy statute for Vojvodina, their northern province. Their country has in effect been shrinking for two decades, and this may be the thin end of a wedge leading to Vojvodina’s independence. After all, Kosovo and Vojvodina had equally extensive autonomy until Slobodan Milosevic scrapped it in 1989. In February 2008 Kosovo, whose population is overwhelmingly Albanian, declared independence.
