Operation Return (2001)

Operation Return was an operation carried by the FR Yugoslavia against the UÇPMB during the insurgency in the Preševo Valley. It resulted in a decisive victory for the Yugoslav forces and the annexation of the Demilitarized Zone on the Serb-Kosovar border.

Aftermath
After the Presevo valley conflict, low intensity skirmishes happened occasionally with the most recent one being in 2014 by a suspected Wahhabi member on the Serbian Gendarmery.

Those skirmishes eventually led to the Crisis in the Preševo valley.
