the term "kosovo and metohija" () was in official use for the autonomous region of kosovo and metohija (1945-1963), and also for the autonomous province of kosovo and metohija (1963-1968). term "metohija" was dropped from the official name of the province in 1968, and thus the term "kosovo" became the official name of the province as a whole. the change was not welcomed by serbs, who continued to use the old name (for example in the 1986 draft memorandum of sanu). in 1990, new constitution of the republic of serbia was adopted, changing the official name of the province back to autonomous province of kosovo and metohija. this time, change was not welcomed by ethnic albanians, who protested against the official use of the term "metohija". in 2008, after the kosovo declaration of independence, serbia included the term "metohija" into official name of the newly formed ministry for kosovo and metohija, that was transformed in 2012 into the office for kosovo and metohija.
