There was a headline today about Kosovo's constitution taking affect after the province declared independence in February. The library has a very readable book called KOSOVO: A SHORT HISTORY by Noel Malcolm who has written extensively about the Balkans. It does a good job of explaining the long and complex history of the wider region and Kosovo specifically, giving a clear picture of the historic and often violent struggle between ethnic Albanians and Serbs over this small piece of land. The library also has Malcolm's BOSNIA: A SHORT HISTORY; also well worth reading.
