SUBOTICA, Feb 27 (Hina) - The autonomous province of Vojvodina got its
new flag after 79 members of its parliament voted for this motion on
Friday.#L#
The new flag is a stylized three-colour Serbian flag with a slightly
wider blue section with three yellow stars in the centre, representing
Banat, Backa and Sirmium, the areas making up the province.
"The adoption of the decision on Vojvodina's flag frightens those who
do not want to admit that Vojvodina is not merely a geographic term,"
the parliament's president, Nenad Canak, said. He went on to say that
such people could not accept the fact that Vojvodina also had
political identity.
Deputies of Vojislav Kostunica's Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS)
voted against the motion.
Vojvodina now has its flag, anthem and coat of arms.
