Summary/Abstract: The question arises of legitimizing the collective identity of Vojvodina as a representative of regionalism in Serbia. After analyzing the various possibilities for legitimizing the collective identity of Vojvodina, the importance of multicultural relations for Vojvodina is emphasized. We considered that cultural patterns are the basis for the regional identity of Vojvodina on a new basis. Only the synthesis between regional capacities and multicultural engagement can ensure the regional identity of Vojvodina based on unforced consensus. Elements of the understanding of Vojvodina as a Euroregion that develops cooperation with other regions and border regions in neighboring countries are added to that basic attitude. The regionalism of Vojvodina should be treated as part of the modern trends of regional planning and management. Finally, the legal constellation of Vojvodina is considered in the light of the Constitution of Serbia and the situation after the Omnibus Law. The conclusion is that the legal frameworks correspond to the model of deconcentration of power, which significantly lags behind real possibilities.
