Summary/Abstract: Constitutional reforms as a rule always open the “Vojvodina issue”. It is obvious, however, that the latest ones will not produce an answer to it. A legal norm, even in the form of a “general consensus”, cannot resolve wide political, and also sociological, cultural, sometimes psychological discrepancies in perception of Vojvodina and the question of its autonomy. Initially national, lately constitutional, but above all a political issue, the autonomy of Vojvodina has been a bone of contention for nearly eight decades without a promising outcome for a long term solution in sight. Differences in opinion, pertaining to the constitutional status of Vojvodina, that are apparent today have deep roots in the past and are most obvious in the way advocates of the autonomy have been interpreting motives for it over the past eighty years.
