Glavne primjedbe opozicije bile su da se statutom najveći grad u Vojvodini, Novi Sad, proglašava prijestolnicom, te da se omogućava otvaranje predstavništava pokrajine u inostranstvu, zaključivanje sporazuma s drugim regionima i formiranje njene vlastite Akademije nauka i umjetnosti.
The opposition's main objections were that the statute designated the biggest town in Vojvodina -- Novi Sad -- as the capital, and that it allowed the province to open its representative offices abroad, close agreements with other regions and form its own Academy of Sciences and Arts.
