The question is scrutinized through time periods: starting from the 1990s, moving to the fall of Slobodan Milo\u0161evi\u0107\u2019s regime and the subsequent changes in the Province\u2019s legislation (concessions and \u201chorse-trading\u201d with political parties in Serbia proper) that took place in the mid-to-late 2000s, and the period since the rule of the Serbian Progress Party in 2012 and an advanced stage of political oligarchization. Can it be argued that the very concept of autonomy has been wasted through a series of concessions that the \u201cautonomist\u201d political and civic actors in Vojvodina have made, hidden behind the general complaints about the threats to the special Vojvodinian \u201chistorical\u201d \u201cmulticultural identity?\u201d It will be shown that, despite such apparent grievances, the (multi-) cultural specifics of the province and its minorities\u2019 status have been also seriously jeopardized without organized opposition. The resulting condition is\u00a0\u201cikebana,\u201d as\u00a0a\u00a0ritual status of multiculturalism, inter-ethnicity and administrative autonomy, subsumed under the EU notion of \u201cregionalism,\u201d a reflection of the disciplining, camouflaging, and marginalization of the lines of conflict and discontent. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Join Zoom Meeting<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/88408941379?pwd=S2VpcDc2bm9Bc2NVTktEcGhLYUFiQT09\">https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/88408941379?pwd=S2VpcDc2bm9Bc2NVTktEcGhLYUFiQT09<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting ID: 884 0894 1379<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Passcode: 7fJuVb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>18.01.2022 13:00 &#8211; 14:00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zentrum f\u00fcr S\u00fcdosteuropastudien &amp; SOEGA &amp; S\u00fcdosteuropa Gesellschaft<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/de\/veranstaltungen\/detail\/article\/brownbagfrom-the-omnibus-law-to-the-office-of-cultural-information-the-disappearing-autonomy-and-regionalism-in-vojvodina-since-2000\/\">https:\/\/suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at\/de\/veranstaltungen\/detail\/article\/brownbagfrom-the-omnibus-law-to-the-office-of-cultural-information-the-disappearing-autonomy-and-regionalism-in-vojvodina-since-2000\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29223,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Dalibor-Stupar-Stups-uspavana-Vojvodina.jpg?fit=800%2C562&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":52763,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=52763","url_meta":{"origin":29222,"position":0},"title":"Predavanje \u2013 Dalibor \u010cepulo &#8220;The Croatian-Hungarian Settlement of 1868: A Hybrid Framework and Modern Governance&#8221;","author":"Filip \u0160imunjak","date":"30. travnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"Public lecture held by Prof. Dr. Dalibor \u010cepulo (Professor Emeritus at the University of Zagreb) on the occasion of his inauguration as honorary professor of ELTE University.7 May 2026, 16.00, at ELTE Faculty of Law, Faculty Council Room (1053 Budapest, Egyetem t\u00e9r 1-3.)
