The leader of the Social Democratic League of Vojvodina, Nenad Canak, has said that the victory of Montenegro's pro-independence bloc is proof that nobody wants to live in the union with Serbia any longer.
In 1991 the then Socialist Republics of Slovenia and Croatia were the first to hold referendums on their independence from the Serb-dominated Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
After that, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Macedonia followed suit.
The negotiations on the status of the Albanian-populated Kosovo are under way. In the former federation, Kosovo was the southern province of the Socialist Republic of Serbia. Now, international diplomats suggest that the likeliest solution for Kosovo is a form of independence.
"Serbia now has no more excuses. It is evident that nobody wants to live with such a Serbia and it is high time people in Serbia asked themselves why this is so," Canak said.
He added that Montenegro had now paved the way towards better chances for its internal and European integration.
The head of the Vojvodina Hungarians' political party, Jozsef Kasza, congratulated Montenegrins on what he said was their historic decision and assessed that Serbia would now be forced to address its own problems and to adopt a Constitution of Serbia.
Vojvodina Prime Minister Bojan Pajtic, who is a senior official of the Democratic Party, said that Montenegrins living in this province would be granted the status of national minority according to the highest European standards.
The above-mentioned three parties form the ruling coalition at the level of the province.
Serb Radicals who are in power in the capital of Novi Sad have not yet expressed their position on Montenegro's independence.
