From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This map of 'Catholic Church Serbia' is incorrect at many points:

1> the Roman Catholic diocese of Subotica incompasses the entire Backa region belonging to Serbia, i.e. also the northern part of the Potisje region (the municipalities of Kanjiza, Senta and Ada). This map is drown according to the new administrative devisions of Serbia, according to which North-East Backa, for some funny reason, actually belongs to North-Banat administrative region. The dioces of Suotica, of course, did not follow the not entirely logical change of political administration of the Backa region by Serbia.

2> What follows is that the diocese of Zrenjanin does not incompasses the North-Eastern part of Backa region. On the other hand, the southern borders of the dioses of Zrenjanin are incorrect too. The border of the dioses follows the historic border of Vojvodina, i.e. the line of the river Danube. This has been changed by Serbian authorities, establishing the border of the Autonomous province of Vojvodina at the river Tamis at Pancova.

3> The same is valid for the Srem region of Vojvodina province, which belongs to the Djakovo-Srijem diocese. The borders of the dioces has not been changed according to the modern administragtion of the region, thus the western parts of the Serbian capital, New Belgrade and Zemun, are not the part of the archdioces of Belgrade, but of the diocese of Djakovo-Srijem.

4> Accordingly, the northern borders of the archdiocese of Belgrade are the lines of the river Sava and Danube.--Vedran.b 15:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I must admit that it was an approximation. I also have my doubts about the south. I've seen older maps of the dioceses in which Prizren Bishopric also covers much of Sanjak. Do you know if this is still the case today? Thanks for the info, though. Hopefully I'll get around to making a better map. --Thewanderer 20:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
