First of all, I am highly indebted to the European Commission, the Marie Skodowska-Curie actions in particular, and to the Johan Skytte Institute of Political Studies (University of Tartu). I am also indebted to the Centre for Baltic and East European Studies (Sdertrns Hgskola, Stockholm), Collegium Budapest (now Centre for Advanced Study at the Central European University), IESIR (Comenius University in Bratislava), New Europe College (Bucharest) and to the Herder Institute in Marburg. Then, I would like to thank my PhD supervisor Professor Judy Batt (CREES, University of Birmingham) for her steady and punctual supervision, as well as the helpful directions that she gave me while writing up my thesis on Vojvodina. In addition, I would like to thank CREES (University of Birmingham), the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies and the coordinators of the ESRC-funded Fuzzy Statehood project for offering me various kinds of financial support between 2000 and 2004. My thanks also go to Professor Hillary Pilkington (former Head of CREES), Professor Jeremy Smith and the secretaries of the department (Ms Tricia Carr and Mrs. Marea Arries) for offering me various kinds of assistance.

The aforementioned individuals dedicated much of their precious time arranging interview appointments, in the course of my field research in Vojvodina. Also, Professor Kicoev let me make use of the archive collection at the Geography Department of the University of Novi Sad, whereas Professor Lazar offered me invaluable assistance with the sociological aspect of my research.
Then, my thanks go to Dr Ratko Bubalo (Director of the Novi Sad-based refugee NGO Humanitarian Centre for Integration and Tolerance) for offering me a variety of useful data, regarding the refugee question in Serbia, and helping me have a first-hand experience with the refugees accommodated in Vojvodina. My gratitude also goes to Dr Dubravka Vali-Nedeljkovi (Director of the Novi Sad-based media NGO Novi Sad School of Journalism) for offering me lots of useful information in regard to the state of the media and press in Vojvodina and allowing me to make use of the archive collection at the Novi Sad School of Journalism.

This book centres on the different layers of identity among the Serbs of Vojvodina and their implications for political preferences regarding the basic structure of the state, namely either for regionalization or for the centralized model of the nation-state. The main focus is on the period from the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until present day. Nevertheless, this topic requires a historical background to set the Serbs as an ethno-national group in context. Particular emphasis is laid on the national identity of the Vojvodinian Serbs and the process of its formation.
The regional identity of Vojvodina is also set in historical context. This firstly sets out the regional concept of Vojvodina as a Serbian homeland, which was developed by the Serb nationalist elites and the Serb intelligentsia within the Habsburg Monarchy during the nineteenth century. Subsequently, in the Communist era, Vojvodinas regional character was redefined in terms of a socialist multicultural society and this requires a historical perspective. Reference to the broader historical context can clarify the complex relationship between centre and periphery and consequently the local understandings of the unitary model of the nation-state and the regionalist alternatives that have been proposed in Vojvodina since the year 2000.
