		A psychologist at an elementary school in Bujanovac said such behaviour was logical, as most of these children had grown up in "small, enclosed mono-ethnic environments", where the other ethnic group was usually mentioned in a negative context.

		Bujanovac is truly a mixed environment in which Albanians account for 95 of the population of the town and surrounding 59 villages.
		Albanians "loyal to the state of Serbia", the target was Vice-President of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) in Bujanovac and Director of Elementary School in the village of Djurdjevac, Mustafa Dzamilj, whose house was bombed and fired at.
		And while the Serbs in Bujanovac and Presevo have no doubts that the perpetrators in these incidents "are Albanian terrorists and gangs from Kosovo which want to transfer the conflict to the south of Serbia", the Albanian representatives are unable to pinpoint the culprits.

	UCPMB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac (Albanian: Ushtria Çlirimtare e Preshevës, Medvegjës dhe Bujanovcit - UCPMB) was a guerrilla group fighting for independence from Serbia for the three municipalities: Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac, home to most of the Albanians of inner Serbia, adjacent to the province of Kosovo and Metohija.
		In Bujanovac, four bombs were detonated in February, one near an elementary school, two in a Gypsy neighbourhood and one next to a cinema.
		Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, NATO allowed the Yugoslav army to reclaim the demilitarized zone on May 24th 2001, and at the same time giving the rebels the opportunity to turn themselves over to KFOR.

		BUJANOVAC, January 1 (Tanjug) - Serbian Premier-designate Zoran Djindjic has called on the ethnic Albanians living in Serbia to give up ideas of a state for which they must sacrifice their own and the future of their children and come to see that the time of creating new states is over.

		The current tensions and crisis in the region of Presevo, Medvegja and Bujanovac are the result of the segregatonist, violent and repressive policy and relations, imposed in decades by the Serb Government towards the Albanian populations.
		The region of Presevo, Medvegja and Bujanovac is a natural part of ethnic Albanian lingual, cultural and territorial continuum in which the divisions against the peoples`willingness have been imposed.
		The Albanians`situation in the Presevo, Medvegja and Bujanovac region worsened to extremes of repression during the war in Kosovo, in 1998-1999, after the withdrawal of the Serb troops from Kosovo.

		The residents of Bujanovac, which is small enough for people to know who is where, agree with the assessments of Zdravkovic and Arsic with respect to the number of those who have left (a generally accepted number is a total of 2,000, of which two or three hundred are Serbs).
		An Albanian from Bujanovac who barely agrees to say a few words says something similar to this: "When an Albanian comes, he stays for good," says this man and heads off toward the Albanian part of the town in the twilight.

	What is Happening in the South of Serbia?
		Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja, three municipalities on the administrative border between Serbia and Kosovo, which have lived for many years in the shadow of the developments in Kosovo, for the first time caught attention of the broad public on 1 and 2 March 1992.

		Members of the southern Serbian variant of the Kosovo Liberation Army ("Ushtria Clirimtare e Presheve, Medvegje e Bujanovac") will have to seek followers in Kosovo or at least among the Albanians from the south of Serbia who joined the KLA during the war and, according to relevant information, there are not many of them.

	Reports
		The international community and members of KFOR in Kosovo23 admit the existence of armed formations, which according to their claims, are not permanently stationed in the territory of central Serbia.

	Reports
		For example in Bujanovac municipality, only 29.27% of Albanians (who make up 60.6% of local population) work in the local administration, which means that they can win maximum 12 of 41 local assembly seats.3 Such a disproportion drastically violates the equitable suffrage guaranteed by the topmost legal acts of Yugoslavia and Serbia.
		For example Stojanca Arsic, President of the Assembly of Bujanovac municipality, maintained that the LAPBM banned Albanians from voting at recent federal and presidential elections, and that it was largely to be blamed for non-participation of Albanians in local self-rule bodies in Bujanovac municipality.13
		Albanians think that such a presence of the armed forces further undermines their confidence in the Serbian authorities intentions and think that a full de-militarization of the entire area is a main prerequisite for normalization of situation.19 Not a single police or army official contacted political representatives of local Albanians.
