Postoje velike razlike u značenju termina Metohija kada ga upotrebljavaju državni zvaničnici Srbije, različite grupe Srba iz centralne Srbije i kada to čine Srbi koji danas žive na Kosovu. Za većinu Srba iz centralne Srbije to je način da iskažu državni suverenitet. Za Srbe sa Kosova, međutim, to je pitanje identiteta, simbolički dokaz da nisu uljezi na zemlji na kojoj žive generacijama. Proganjanje reči Metohija za njih je simbol kontinuiranih pokušaja brisanja srpskog identiteta Kosova, kao što su na primer uporni pokušaji da se srpska kulturna baština preimenuje u vizantijsku. Upotreba reči Metohija je simbolički dokaz da su svoji na svome, da nisu „uljezi“, jer zna se šta se sa uljezima radi.

As Petrit Imami writes in the book "Serbs and Albanians through Centuries," there was a conflict between Albanian quisling-nationalists and anti-fascists during World War II. In response to the abuse of the Prizren League in 1878, in the newspaper KPJ Sloboda (1943), Fadil Hoxha announced: "The peoples of Kosovo and Metohija will organize a conference, perhaps not in Prizren, which will hold more importance than the one in 1878. (Imami, 2016: 469).” This Bujan conference, created as a response to the Second Prizren League, was later contested in CPY circles mostly due to the following sentence: "Kosovo and Dukagjin/Metohija is an area mostly inhabited by the Shiptar people, who today, as always, want to unite with Shipnija (470).”
