Subotica

Subotica (Hungarian: Szabadka) is the northernmost city in the Republic of Serbia, the second most populous in Vojvodina. According to the 2002 census, it has 99,471 inhabitants. It is located 10 km from the Serbian border with Hungary. It is the administrative center of the North Bačka District.
 
Subotica was first mentioned in 1391 under the Hungarian name Zabadka. In 1527, Subotica was the capital of the short-lived Serbian state of the self-proclaimed Emperor John Nenad. The Ottoman Empire ruled the city from 1542 to 1686, when it became a possession of the Habsburg Monarchy. From the mid-18th century, its name was changed to Sancta Maria, after the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The name of the city was changed again in 1779 to Maria Theresiopolis, and the name Subotica (Szabadka) was returned to it in 1845. In 1918, Subotica became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
 
The city is located in the Pannonian Plain, which has a long tradition and rich cultural heritage. The municipality, which includes the city and 18 suburban settlements, covers an area of ​​1,008 square kilometers.
 
Thanks to its geographical position and hardworking residents, Subotica has over time become the most important administrative, industrial, commercial, transport and cultural center in northern Bačka, and the nearby Palić Lake makes it a tourist and recreational center for the wider area.
 
There is also a connection near the city that connects Subotica with Hungary in the north and Southern Europe via Belgrade in the south. Subotica is also connected by rail to the whole of Europe.
 
In terms of traffic, Subotica is, in the truest sense of the word, located at the crossroads of roads and railways. The E-75 highway passes in the immediate vicinity of Subotica, and the main roads to Novi Sad (M-22.1), Sombor and Kelebija (Hungary) (M-17.1), Horgoš (M-22.1) and Senta (M-24) intersect in the city itself (the part to the E-75 highway has been completed, and the rest is planned). The Belgrade - Budapest railway route passes through the urban core and there it branches off with the railway routes to Sombor, Horgoš, Crvenka and Baja. All these facts contribute to Subotica being classified as one of the most important traffic hubs in the Republic of Serbia.

Ruma

Ruma is a town and municipality located in the Srem District of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. 

The question of the meaning of the name Ruma has not been resolved. Most probably, it is about the oriental origin that came to these regions with the Turks, but it does not exclude the possibility to date from even older times.

Ruma is located near the southern slopes of Fruška gora, at an elevation of 111 meters. It is characterized by a flatland configuration of the terrain, a fertile land and the gentle landscapes of central Srem.

The lack of a large water course successfully compensated for the three Roman streams (Borkovački, Kudoški and Jelenački), which found a place in the coat of arms of the city, and in the early seventies, artificial lake Borkovac was built in the immediate vicinity of Ruma, accumulated from the same stream.

Cultural life in the city takes place under the auspices of several cultural institutions. The Cultural Center, the Regional Museum and the City Library regularly hold cinema and theater performances, concerts, book promotions, art exhibitions and other cultural events, among which the most important is the Festival of Music Associations of Vojvodina.

The Youth Council of Ruma plays the most important role in the cultural and artistic life of young people in Ruma. It is an association of organizations dealing with youth: Scout Scout, Ruma City Theater, Ruma Youth Literature Youth, Cancer Society of the Municipality of Ruma and Association of Artists of the Municipality of Ruma.

The largest number of people is employed in industry and agriculture. As a traditional agricultural region, Ruma still has a solid basis for the development of this activity, either through the individual sector, or through appropriate industrial branches (food, leather, wood, the agricultural tire industry).

Ruma also has a long tradition in trade, and in this respect is certainly the most famous Romanian fair held every third of the month. Unfortunately, the craft, which was once also a trademark of the Ruma, gradually dies and moves into history.
