War and peace in the Balkans

The world has changed profoundly since the assassination in Sarajevo which sparked the First World War. Yet the Balkans remain a dangerous tinderbox. Cursed by nationalism and big power politics - and devastated by frequent wars - the Balkans present 'civilised Europe' with its greatest challenge. We look at the background to the conflict and the prospects for peace.
