Seat
Seat of the Assembly of Vojvodina is the Banovina Palace, in Novi Sad, the administrative centre of Vojvodina. It is a complex consisting of two buildings. The larger Banovina serves as the seat of the Government of Vojvodina, while the smaller Banski dvor serves as the seat of the Assembly of Vojvodina.[2] The complex, designed by Dragiša Brašovan, was constructed between 1936 and 1940 in modernist style (with art deco and stripped classicism elements) as the administrative seat of the Danube Banovina.[3][4]
