Politics
Since Central Serbia was not an administrative division of Serbia, the political movements that asked for autonomy of the parts of the region have appeared. Such political movements were found in Šumadija, Sandžak, Niš and Preševo Valley.
Some other political parties in Serbia (for example Democratic Party of Serbia) also proposed creation of new administrative units of Serbia. According to one of these proposals, territory of Central Serbia was to be divided into 4 regions: Šumadija (capital city: Kragujevac), Podunavlje (capital city: Niš), Podrinje (capital city: Užice), and Belgrade City Region.
Transformation of Central Serbia into 3 statistical regions did not solve these political issues since, like Central Serbia itself, new regions are not administrative units.

Famous quotes containing the word politics:
“We are naïve and moralistic women. We are human beings. Who find politics a blight upon the human condition. And do not know how one copes with it except through politics.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“The real grounds of difference upon important political questions no longer correspond with party lines.... Politics is no longer the topic of this country. Its important questions are settled... Great minds hereafter are to be employed on other matters.... Government no longer has its ancient importance.... The people’s progress, progress of every sort, no longer depends on government. But enough of politics. Henceforth I am out more than ever.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Politics is repetition. It is not change. Change is something beyond what we call politics. Change is the essence politics is supposed to be the means to bring into being.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
