History
After the Kosovo War (1998–99), a demilitarized zone was established between Kosovo (governed by United Nations) and inner Serbia and Montenegro, which included Dobrosin. The Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac, an ethnic Albanian organization, was formed in the village in early January 2000.[2] It sought the unification of Albanian-inhabited Preševo Valley with Kosovo, leading an insurgency between 12 June 1999–1 June 2001.
In 2012, three attacks were made on the Serbian border police station at Dobrosin.[2]
