Since the beginning of a crisis in 2000, the institutions of the Republic of Serbia, as well as its policy, have been paying particular attention to Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja, the three southern Serbian municipalities.The goal of the above activities was to defuse multi ethnic tensions, bring the armed conflicts to an end and make the lives of all citizens of the three southern Serbian municipalities normal. On the other hand, the government is, over a long period of time, focused on building the capacities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medveđa, their economic empowerment and political and social integration, by which their stability and development would be ensured. The Coordination Body of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and of the government of the Republic of Serbia for the Municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja was established on December 16, 2000. The establishment of the Coordination Body in the policy of the Serbian government marked a new approach to resolution of ethnic conflicts. The Coordination Body is the example of a good practice in resolving conflicts by political means and not by military ones.
