History

It was founded in October 13, 1990 as the Alliance of Reformist Forces of Yugoslavia for Vojvodina (Savez reformskih snaga Jugoslavije za Vojvodinu) within the unified Yugoslav political movement from that time, whose founder was federal Yugoslav prime minister, Ante Marković.

Since 1992, party was known as the Reformist Democratic Party of Vojvodina (Reformska demokratska stranka Vojvodine), and since 2000 as the Reformists of Vojvodina (Reformisti Vojvodine).

Political goals

Party has social-democratic orientation and claims that state should be decentralized, with autonomous provinces and regions that would have different levels of autonomy, as well as with the local administration.
