Part 3/9:
Understanding Kosovo necessitates delving into the tangled history of the region. Historically, Kosovo has been a land where various ethnic groups have lived. It was part of the medieval Serbian Kingdom before falling under Ottoman control in the 15th century. The Balkan Wars in the early 20th century led to Ottoman retreat and paved the way for Serbian control. When Yugoslavia was formed post-World War I, Kosovo was integrated as part of a new Kingdom.
