Politics
Since Central Serbia was not an administrative division of Serbia, the political movements that asked for autonomy of the parts of the region have appeared. Such political movements were found in Šumadija, Sandžak, Niš and Preševo Valley.
Some other political parties in Serbia (for example Democratic Party of Serbia) also proposed creation of new administrative units of Serbia. According to one of these proposals, territory of Central Serbia was to be divided into 4 regions: Šumadija (capital city: Kragujevac), Podunavlje (capital city: Niš), Podrinje (capital city: Užice), and Belgrade City Region.
Transformation of Central Serbia into 3 statistical regions did not solve these political issues since, like Central Serbia itself, new regions are not administrative units.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“The word “revolution” itself has become not only a dead relic of Leftism, but a key to the deadendedness of male politics: the “revolution” of a wheel which returns in the end to the same place; the “revolving door” of a politics which has “liberated” women only to use them, and only within the limits of male tolerance.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
“The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous.... Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
