What does the killing of a Kosovo Serb politician reveal about the deep fault lines running through the Balkan state?
Two decades ago, the small Balkan state of Kosovo was fighting to secede from neighbouring Serbia, which was resisting the final break-up of the former Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
After NATO intervened on the side of Kosovo's majority ethnic Albanian population, the separatists won and a decade later in 2008 declared full independence.
This has since been recognised by a majority of nations in the world, but not Serbia, which still claims sovereignty over the state
