Politics of Novi Sad
The edict of empress Maria Theresa of Austria that made Novi Sad a royal free city was proclaimed on February 1, 1748.In various languages it was written as: Neoplantae (Latin), Neusatz (German), Újvidék (Hungarian), and Novi Sad (Serbian).Administrative significance of the city highly increased in 1918, when it became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.After the war, administrative significance of Novi Sad increased again and it became the capital of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina within People's Republic of Serbia and new socialist Yugoslavia.From 1980 to 1989, city was divided into seven urban municipalities: Stari Grad, Podunavlje, Liman, Slavija, Petrovaradin, Detelinara and Sremski Karlovci.The executive branch is headed by the Mayor of Novi Sad City, who is elected by direct popular vote.The City's second mayor elected by direct popular vote in September 2004 was Maja Gojković, who is also the only female yet to be the major political figure of Novi Sad.The Assembly monitors performance of city agencies and makes land use decisions as well as legislating on a variety of other issues.[5] Both municipalities, Petrovaradin and Novi Sad, are divided into local communities (Serbian: Mesne zajednice / Месне заједнице).
