The political position of Serbs from Vojvodina in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the early twentieth century was very complex.

The demographic structure of the population of Hungary imperatively conditioned the democratization of the society for its survival, but the state policy tended to Hungarian national exclusiveness. In such a political radicalization of attitudes, the political and party articulation of Serbs was a very uncertain mission. Even the political representatives of the Serbian nation in Vojvodina themselves were burdened by the party antagonism and the interest politicking. Any ideas or political actions were viewed through the prism of their own success or failure.
