What is behind renewed tensions between Serbia and Kosovo?

Tensions between Serbia and Kosovo escalated when a group of armed Serbs barricaded themselves in a monastery, resulting in a deadly gunbattle with the police.
The clash in Kosovo is one of many since the country declared independence from Serbia in 2008, prompting fears of a revival of the 1998-1999 war that caused extensive casualties and displacement.
Serbia refuses to recognize Kosovo's statehood despite having no control over it. This dispute is deeply rooted in the historical and religious significance of the region to Serbs, while Kosovo's Albanian majority considers it their own country and accuses Serbia of occupation and repression.
