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 average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
—For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
