Because of that ownership of the Enclave of Sastavci arose. The Muslims from the areas of Bosnia fled at that time in the region Sanjak of Novi Pazar.

The Serbian government proposed Bosnia ago to join the enclave Sastavci in exchange for a different area of the same size with Serbia. This offer was rejected by the Bosnian side, which in turn called for the connection of the enclave with the mother country by a strip corridor.
