[edit] History
The Autonomous Province of Vojvodina that was created in 1945 enjoyed only the small level of autonomy within Serbia. In 1963, the name of the province was changed to Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Under the 1974 Yugoslav constitution, the province gained extensive rights of self-rule, which defined Vojvodina as one of the subjects of the Yugoslav federation, and also gave it voting rights equivalent to Serbia itself on the country's collective presidency.
Under the rule of the Serbian president Slobodan Milošević, Vojvodina and Kosovo were restored to their pre-1974 status from September 28, 1990. The name of the province was also reverted to Autonomous Province of Vojvodina.
