Senta's Three in the peace keeping narrative of Vojvodina, especially for residents of Hungarian nationality, the Senta's Three is a symbol of remembrance of the anti-war protests in Senta, and the three rebel reservists. The protests started on November 6, 1991, almost three months after the beginning of the military aggression in Vukovar, for which the Slobodan Milošević regime mobilized men from ethnic communities in Vojvodina, primarily Hungarians and Croats.

The uniqueness of the anti-war protests in Senta lies in the fact that the citizens, having formed a Crisis Headquarters led by reserve officer Janoš Sabo, Jožef Bodo and Jožef Pap - the Senta's Three - began negotiations with the municipal authorities to hold a referendum against the war in the former Yugoslavia. They also received support from opposition leaders  Nenad Čanak from the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV), peace activist Julija Teleki from Bečej, and even the local authorities in Senta, which was a precedent in the history of the anti-war movement in the former Yugoslavia.

However, the referendum was never held, and the "Senta's Three" were arrested, taken to a military prison, and forces by  the Milosevic regime to accept a call to arms, even though war had never been declared in Serbia.

In commemoration of the anti-war protest in Senta, which ignited the protests in Ada, Temerin and later in Trešnjevac, a memorial plaque with the message "We want peace", written in four languages: Serbian, Hungarian, German and English was placed on the building of the municipal authorities.
