This paper presents experimental research into the attitudes of tourists
towards the significance of protected areas with regard to tourism in the
Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in the northern ...part of the Republic of
Serbia. It is an area with significant rare plant and animal resources, as
well as w?tlands, ecosystems, and hilly and mountainous areas. Several
research methods have been used in the paper. The first method is to collect
data using a written questionnaire that was completed by 215 visitors to
different protected areas in AP Vojvodina. Their answers revealed their
attitudes toward sustainable tourism in selected protected areas. After
examining the differences in the answers using the Kruskal-Wallis test, the
results of the survey conducted by the authors were examined by means of two
comparative analyses of identical, related, and similar answers in selected
case studies. Based on the results of the Kruskal-Wallis Test, it can be
concluded that there is a statistically significant difference in the
assessments of the importance of activities and the forms of tourism chosen
when visiting protected areas. The most important forms of tourism are
ecotourism and adventure tourism. Tourists also identified hiking, cycling,
and wildlife watching as the most important activities.

Even though the historical narrative of the (mythical) migration of Slovaks to the Vojvodina (the so called Dolná zem – “Low Land”) and the founding of a new home is based on historical facts, it ...contains a range of relatively stable elements of a transnationally shared myth of the search for a promised land. This myth represents one of the key memories of the Slovak minority in Serbia, shaped and maintained across time, which contributed to the creation of national unity, a distinct image, and a specific Slovak identity. The paper primarily examines qualitatively varying literary texts in Vojvodina Slovak literature of the 20th century in which this myth and related thematic and expressive means dominate. These thematic and motivic paradigms include motifs of migration, flatland, land, building a house, ancestors, and others, often portrayed in comparison to what things were like in the old homeland. These, through systematic repetition in many works of fiction and non-fiction, contributed to the construction of the myth of the promised land and the finding of a second homeland which became part of the collective memory of Vojvodina Slovaks. In this sense, one can also speak of the historical and cultural memory of the Vojvodina Slovak ethnic group and the building of a distinctive Vojvodina – “Lowland” – Slovak identity.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, older-generation writers in Slovak Vojvodina literature have published novels: Viera Benková (* 1939): Stred sveta (The centre of the world, 2006), Tri ženy, ...dvaja muži a ja... (Three women, two men, and me, 2017); Víťazoslav Hronec (* 1944): Dynastia Beňovských (The Benyovszky dynasty, 2020); Zlatko Benka (* 1951): Deväť prsteňov (Nine rings, 2005); Martin Prebudila (* 1960): No tak, usmej sa... (Come on, smile..., 2012). In these novels, they largely synthesized their previous prose and overall literary work. A common feature in all the mentioned novels is the use of (neo)modernist, postmodern, and (neo)realistic narrative techniques and strategies in their composition, the influence of the author’s own poetry on their prose, and bilingualism in the case of two authors (V. Hronec, Z. Benka), where the work was written in Serbian and subsequently translated into Slovak. The aim of the contribution is to demonstrate how and to what extent the novelistic work of selected Slovak Vojvodina writers engages with current trends in literary transformations in Slovak, Serbian, and global literature.
In the “lowland” environment, within the territory of present-day Serbian Vojvodina, remarkable literary texts associated with the contemporary funeral culture emerged in the 19th century. The first ...example is the mourning poem by Juraj Rohoň (1773 – 1831), which he wrote during his time in Hložany and delivered at the funeral of Senior Ondrej Stehla in February 1818. This manuscript composition is evidence of an elegiac genre adapted to the church environment, characterized by classicist elevation and imagery. The first collection of funeral speeches composed by Slovak Evangelical preacher Ján Kutlík senior (1806 – 1890), published as Pohřebník aneb Kázně a řečí pohřební (The mourner or Funeral sermons and speeches, 1852), was also written in Vojvodina. Kutlík worked as a teacher and later a preacher in Stara Pazova, where he likely began conceptualising his first funeral speeches, which became the basis for the collection he published in Sarvaš. In his model speeches addressed to young preachers, he emphasises spiritual counselling and consolation for the bereaved. Through presented insights into education, enlightenment, patriotism, and the composition of sermons, Kutlík’s preaching shares many commonalities with the preaching of Ján Kollár.
The article maps the cultural relationships between Štefan Krčméry (1892 – 1955) and the Slovaks of Vojvodina, which he established during his public activities on the Slovak cultural scene in the ...first half of the 20th century. Based on selected sources (reports and commentaries, critiques, excerpts from literary-historical works, and correspondence), it traces the line that enters into the discussion of the awareness of contemporary public opinion about Slovak ethnic minorities that gained the status of foreign Slovaks after 1918. In Krčméry’s concept of Slovak literary development, the geographical separation of Vojvodina Slovak writers did not pose an obstacle because he perceived the influence of a foreign environment on the authors as a stimulus for a unique expression of national identity, fully integrating their work into the mainstream of Slovak literature. The specific issues of Vojvodina Slovaks are embedded in a broader context of national identity questions with their specific manifestations and processes of formation and preservation. In comparison with current studies on the issue of Lowland Slovaks, Krčméry’s reflection on the ethnic minority appears as a relevant source of information that can confirm or further develop the conclusions of contemporary historical research.
The poet, national revivalist, folk songs collector, and evangelical pastor Juraj Rohoň (1773 – 1831) was active among Slovaks inhabiting the area of today’s Serbian Vojvodina from 1795 until his ...death. His literary activity can be reflected in several ways: he was a poet in the Classicist style, author of texts aimed at defending and highlighting the contribution of Slovaks to the social and national life in Hungary, and he also made a significant contribution to the collecting of Slovak folk songs for Ján Kollár’s project Národnie spievanky National songs. In all of Rohoň’s works one can find echoes of Enlightenment views and 18th century Enlightenment philosophy. The article analyses the relationship between the impulses of Enlightenment ideas and the literary works in which these impulses resonate and points to the overlap of the tendencies in question towards pre-Romanticism, focusing on works that highlight the category of the nation and also on the question of the historical development and presence of Slovaks/Slavs in history.
"The immediate motive to produce this study is the marking of significant anniversaries in the field of ethnomusicology, both in the personal life of famous ethnomusicologist Nice Fracile and in the ...activities of the Academy of Arts of the University of Novi Sad. By reviewing the moments from the life and professional experience of this ethnomusicologist, an insight and a guide is offered into the possibilities of creativity and advancement of an individual, who has made a significant scientific contribution to local, regional and world ethnomusicology by studying the musical tradition of his community, and later the wider area as well. Keywords: Ethnomusicology, musical folklore, Nice Fracile, Vojvodina."
Vojvodina is situated in the northern part of Serbia. The region is divided into: Bačka in the northwest, Banat in the east and Srem in the southwest. A small part of the Mačva region is also located ...in Vojvodina, in the Srem District. Vojvodina is abundant with numerous grasslands suitable for sheep grazing. The present study was conducted in 90 sheep flocks from the territory of Vojvodina in the period of March 2014 to January 2015, using into consideration the biodiversity and sesonal occurance and prevalence of isolated parasites. Fecal samples were examined by using qualitative and quantitative coprological methods. Infection we occurred at 81.22% of sheep. We found eggs of Nematodirus sp. (71.22%), Ostertagia sp. (69.22%), Trichostrongylus sp. (66.55%), Haemonchus sp. (64.44%), Chabertia ovina (60.11%), Dictyocaulus spp. (49.00%), Oesophagostomum sp.(36.77%), Dicrocelium dendriticum (34.66%), Marshallagia sp.
