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 Albanian paramilitary organization Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac was formed in the village in early January 2000. It sought the unification of Albanian-inhabited Preševo Valley with the Republic of Kosovo, leading an insurgency between 12 June 1999–1 June 2001.
