The paper presents the results of research conducted on the population of refugees and internally displaced persons in Kosovo and Metohija, stationed in four collective centers of the second northernmost municipality of Zubin Potok (Gazivode, Velji Breg, Jagnjenica and Donje Varage). The survey was conducted using a questionnaire method with a survey technique using the SILC survey (Income and Living Conditions Survey) on a representative sample. The goal was to collect data from a population that is mostly excluded from social surveys and census surveys, bearing in mind the fact that the aforementioned collective centers are located in Kosovo and Metohija, where official republican surveys of marginal groups have not been conducted for more than two decades. In accordance with the scope of work, the text shows only some indicators that showed the deprivation of the population of refugees and internally displaced persons.

Taking into consideration that the geographical distribution of the specific wedding terms related to wedding customs and rituals in Serbian ethnic and dialectal regions is still rather unknown, as well as the fact that the ethnological monographic studies contain relatively detailed descriptions of the practices and the "standardized" forms used in naming, this paper presents the inventory of the terms used in naming people who take part in the wedding customs and rituals, based on the ethnic-dialectal materials collected in and around Leposavić, with the aim of placing the linguistic and ethnographic elements in the cultural and areal context.

In this paper we are analyzing the idea of the Brusseles agreement as a political idea which was supposed to normalize ethnic relations between Serbia and "Kosovo", with everyday ethnic relations in the Kosovo and Metohija region. According to documents from " Republic od Serbia's report on the progress in the Belgrade - Pristina dialogue", there is visible contradiction for the reader where progress in the dialogue in Brusseles resulted in regression in ethnic relations. On the account of numeros acts of violence by Albanian extremists to Serbian minorty, such as house burning, rapeing, kidnapping women and children and tearing down religious and cultural monuments thruout the Brusseles agreement, with benevolent watch international community and EU, comes the conclusion that the agreement is mildly said an insufficient solution for the Kosovo situation. Besides that, constant outbursts of violence explicitly on Serbian people, with elements of destroying Serbian nationality. Subsequently saying, this problem demands compromised solution with effective participation of the International community in finding a solution.
