Keywords:
Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, demographic structure, historical analysis, geopolitical position, neighboring countriesAbstract
In the paper the contemporary geopolitical position of theAutonomous Province of Vojvodina is analyzed. Thanks to the structure of the population, the history, it is an integral part of the Republic of Serbia. Inter-ethnic relations in the province are tolerant and practically conflict-free. From about 30% of the population that is a minority in the province the most prominent is Hungarian community in the northern part of the province which occupies the compact area in which it has more than half majority of the population. Autonomist views have the base in a small part of the Serbian population in the province, while the separatist preference in the total population of the province is undeveloped and without greater impact.
In the paper the relationship of the three neighboring countries, Croatia, Hungary and Romania toward this part of Serbia is analyzed. Vojvodina is the physical-geographical sense homogeneous region, while in terms of social-geography is increasingly jagged area, connected with other parts of Serbia, what particularly refers to Podunavlje that with Belgrade area and the mouth of the Velika Morava represents a nodal region, and the Danube itself an axle of development. Today Vojvodina is together with Belgrade area, the most developed part of Serbia.
