Vojvodina is the region north of the Danube that was given to Serbia after
the First World War; prior to that it was Hungarian. Banat is the name of
the eastern part of Vojvodina, extending into today's Romania
(Temesvár/Timisoara is also part of Banat). But for my part the city that

Nagybecskerek).
