I don't suppose many of us are very well up on Yugoslav history, but I think it is a reference to the Nazi occupation of Yugoslavia in WW2 and their splitting it up into separate territories. 'Kosovo is Serbia' refers to the belief that Kosovo is the heartland of Serbia. There was a mediaeval battle there against the Turks, which the Serbs lost but which is seen as a turning point in the development of Serb national identity. I think it would be a bit like Boston wanting to be part of Canada.
