Political Proposals
There are various views among autonomist political parties about desired level of autonomy of Vojvodina. Some of the proposals are advocating (or advocated) returning to level of autonomy as it was in 1974, while other proposals are supporting idea of more autonomy than in 1990s, but somewhat less than in 1974.
One of the proposals was the proposal of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, which advocated the transformation of Serbia into the "democratic federal state" with federal units with larger or lower levels of autonomy. One of the federal units of federal Serbia, according to the proposal, would be the Republic of Vojvodina (Serbian: Република Војводина or Republika Vojvodina; Hungarian: Vajdasági Köztársaság; Slovak: Republika Vojvodina; Croatian: Republika Vojvodina; Romanian: Republica Voivodina; Rusyn: Република Войводина). Besides Vojvodina, other federal units would be Šumadija, South-Eastern Serbia, city of Belgrade, Sandžak and Kosovo. According to the League, this political solution would "stabilize Serbia as a state and would prevent any separatist tendencies on the territory of Serbia". In recent years, the League mostly abandoned the idea about Republic of Vojvodina, but it still advocating larger level of autonomy for the province.

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or proposals:
“No wonder that, when a political career is so precarious, men of worth and capacity hesitate to embrace it. They cannot afford to be thrown out of their life’s course by a mere accident.”
—James Bryce (1838–1922)
“One theme links together these new proposals for family policy—the idea that the family is exceedingly durable. Changes in structure and function and individual roles are not to be confused with the collapse of the family. Families remain more important in the lives of children than other institutions. Family ties are stronger and more vital than many of us imagine in the perennial atmosphere of crisis surrounding the subject.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
