like Vojvodina, is dissatisfied with the centralised authority," Jakovcic said at a news conference in Novi Sad, held on the occasion of the event "Days of Istria in Vojvodina". Croatia has been undergoing the process of decentralisation, Jakovcic said. "It is still far from what we want, a high level of regional self-government, and I believe we have a lot in common with Vojvodina in that regard," he added. The prefect of the northern Adriatic county said the purpose of his three-day visit to Vojvodina was "the promotion of regionalism and regional identity" and the strengthening of economic relations.
