The Statute of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (Serbian: Статут Аутономне Покрајине Војводине, romanized: Statut Autonomne Pokrajine Vojvodine), enacted in its contemporary form in 2014, stands as the paramount legal document outlining the fundamental principles governing Vojvodina within the framework of the Constitution of Serbia and national laws.

Over the years Vojvodina introduced multiple fundamental legal documents that increased of decreased the level of the provincial autonomy.

[1] Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary nevertheless limited Serb autonomy to Eastern Orthodox religious and schooling self-government, particularly after the abolition of the Serbian Vojvodina in 1849 and Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar in 1860.

[2] The unification was perceived as a realization of major political objectives of the Serbs in Vojvodina limiting most of the further claims for autonomy in the Interwar period and with Novi Sad serving as a seat of the Danube Banovina.

[1] The document with the long preamble and 430 articles introduced almost all of the elements enjoyed up until that time only by Yugoslav republics, introduced the independent Constitutional Court of Vojvodina and redefined the relations with the Socialist Republic of Serbia on the basis of common interest and provisions of republican and provincial constitutions.

[3] Following the 2000 Overthrow of Slobodan Milošević the new Serbian democratic government led by Zoran Đinđić firstly introduced the so-called Omnibus law in 2002 which reaffirmed certain provincial functions of Vojvodina.

[4] The new statute strongly reaffirmed the autonomy but focused it primarily on executive power without any substantial legislative, judicial and constitutional jurisdiction but with additional 2009 Omnibus law expanding the scope of areas of the provincial significance regulated by Vojvodina bodies and with ambiguous status of Novi Sad.

[2] The court remained silent on the issue for the following three years publishing its decision only after the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election when a number of provisions of the 2009 Statute were declared unconstitutional, including on the capital city status of Novi Sad and provisions on independent cross-border cooperation of Vojvodina with other regions and European Union.
