During the Kosovo War, Serbs were displaced, after more than a decade, sixteen families returned to their village, on February 6, 2010.{{cite web|url=http://www.b92.net/eng/news/society-article.php?yyyy%3D2010%26mm%3D02%26dd%3D06%26nav_id%3D65030 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=June 13, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606235227/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/society-article.php?yyyy=2010&mm=02&dd=06&nav_id=65030 |archivedate=June 6, 2011 }} That number has since increased to just over 20 families.{{cite web|url=http://www.b92.net/eng/news/society-article.php?yyyy%3D2010%26mm%3D06%26dd%3D13%26nav_id%3D67776 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=June 13, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607002620/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/society-article.php?yyyy=2010&mm=06&dd=13&nav_id=67776 |archivedate=June 7, 2011 }}

Various problems, some of them related to anti-Serb sentiment, persist for returnees. There is no running water, and harassment takes place, such as cemetery desecration.{{cite web|url=http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes-article.php?yyyy%3D2010%26mm%3D01%26dd%3D17%26nav_id%3D64533 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=June 13, 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606130212/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes-article.php?yyyy=2010&mm=01&dd=17&nav_id=64533 |archivedate=June 6, 2011 }}{{cite book|author=Janine Natalya Clark|title=International Trials and Reconciliation: Assessing the Impact of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Tr7cAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT166|date=20 June 2014|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-317-97474-1|pages=166–}}
