Many of the towns of the Vojvodina were bombed, perhaps with bombs containing uranium which have left radiation... If this were a proper English Wikipedia article, such a statement would have a citation.--Wetman (talk) 01:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Historical population

The Voivodina is the northern part of what is nowadays Serbia. Two of its historical parts, Bacska and Banat, are situated north of the Danube. The third part, Srem, lies between Danube and Save. The capital of the Voivodina is Novi Sad. Bacska and Banat form the Southern part of the Great Hungarian Plain. The soil is very fertile and provided all of former Yugoslavia with wheat, sunflower oil and corn. Furthermore they grow sugar beets there, tobacco, and other grains. In the time of the blockade of Yugoslavia the main source of income of the rundown state were agricultural goods from the Voivodina that were being smuggled through and to the neighboring countries.

The climate, though, is difficult to bear. The summers are hot and merciless, the winters cold and damp. The lack of trees furthermore aggravates the heat in summer, frequent draughts, and a lot of dust. The water, as it is ground water, is of rather poor quality, as is the water of the two main rivers, the Danube and the Tisa which by reaching the Voivodina already carry a lot of pollution with them. In former times the Voivodina was notorious for tuberculosis and allegedly ist resurgent again due to the devastate condition of all of Serbia. Moreover, the NATO war of 1999 has damaged the soil and water of the Voivodina. The burning refineries of Novi Sad and Pancevo and the bombed petrochemical factory in Pancevo have emitted a lot of poisonous substances into the ground which now is in the crops that grow there. Many of the towns of the Vojvodina were bombed, perhaps with bombs containing uranium which have left radiation, and this is also entering in the food chain, apart from the fact that people breathe it or are affected in other ways. The people of the Voivodnia who enjoyed a high living standard and freedom of movement up till the 80s have now become impoverished, the infrastructure has deteriorated, and the world has forgotten them. As all of the inhabitans of Serbia they need visa for almost every country and are kind of locked up in their rather fucked-up country. Many of original inhabitants have emigrated, especially among the youth. In exchange, Serb refugees from the Krajina, Bosnia and Kosovo have entered, without belongings, and without the possibilities or the knowledge of how to work the land under the special conditions of the Great Plain. The Voivodina was populated – after the victorious wars of Austria against the Ottoman Empire at the turn from the 17th to the 18th century – with settlers of all parts of the Austro-Hungarian

1812 the colonization of Schuschara village by German settlers, mostly from the very Baden-Württemberg, Ulm, Hannover and came from Nordbanat and not considered as Erstkolonisten.

The new settlers were at first mere tenants and not owners of their houses and fields. In the years 1812-1900 these lands acquired descent from Szamosujvar in Transylvania. In the following decades, there was the renewal of the leases often disagreements and friction, which led to the migration of several families. Schuschara (Susara) The traditional village houses are built from adobe, as this is the best material for isolation against the summer heat and the chilly winters. The disadvantage of this material is that it dissolves quickly when exposed to water. In case of floods entire village or parts of cities were washed away. The rainfall does it’s fair share, too, therefore the adobe houses need more frequent renovation than houses built from red brick and coated with plaster.

A street in the (originally Swabian) Schuschara (Susara) In the Vojvodina food plays an important role in everday life and popular culture. Well-fed people are considered healthy, and beautiful. The food one is being served is extensive, both in amount and in variety, as many national specialties have found their way to this area, together with the settlers. Expecting guests is an excellent excuse to cook with even more ambition and pots than usual: Nobody wants the guest to tell afterwards he hasn’t eaten good in this house! And, even worse: To say he got starved, he didn’t get enough! The ordinary family meals plus one or more guests are a small affair, though, compared to real festivities, as weddings or birthdays. The inhabitants of the Voivodina resort to eating in every state of mind: They eat to celebrate, they stuff themselves out of boredom, or in desperation. Of course one should not forget that – at least in happier times – there are also big amounts of plum brandy – slivovice –, to help getting down and process all this food. And to the delight of my humble self – the Zopfman beer to supply the happy eater with some liquid. --Vedran.b (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
