In 2001, [[Insurgency in the Preševo Valley|uprisings by Albanians]] occurred in the Albanian-majority municipalities of [[Preševo]] and [[Bujanovac]]. In addition, reports emerged in 2006 that the municipality of [[Trgovište]] had threatened to secede itself to [[North Macedonia]], which was noteworthy, since it had (and still has) a majority Serb population. Representatives cited economic hardship and a declining population as grievances against Serbia’s government.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/25/world/europe/25serbia.html?_r=0 "Lost in Shuffle, Serb Town Sees Future in Macedonia."
