Vojvodina, Autonomous province in northern Serbia
Vojvodina is an autonomous province in northern Serbia that stretches across the Pannonian Basin and includes the historic regions of Banat, Bačka, and Srem. Novi Sad serves as the administrative center of this province, which covers an area of roughly 21,500 square kilometers (8,300 square miles).
The territory belonged successively to the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Habsburg Monarchy before becoming part of the Yugoslav and later Serbian state. The ancient city of Sirmium, now Sremska Mitrovica, served at times as one of the four capitals of the Roman Empire in the 3rd and 4th centuries.
The six co-official languages - Serbian, Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian, Croatian, and Rusyn - shape daily life in public offices, schools, and on street signs. This linguistic variety shows most clearly in border areas, where town names often appear in multiple scripts and residents commonly switch between two or three languages.
The province is best reached through Novi Sad, which acts as a transport hub for the entire region. Many towns sit on the flat plain and are easy to reach by road or rail, with main routes typically running north to south.
The province has its own assembly and government that decide independently in areas such as infrastructure, education, science, and culture. This institutional autonomy allows local solutions for regional needs within the framework of the Serbian state.
