I think the root of this conflict go back to ~1910 and the first balkan wars. back then the nationalism rised in those areas and resulted in war (Balkan Wars).
Tito surpressed those nationalistic feelings but after his death those feelings rised again and again resulted in war. Slobodan Milošević revived Serb nationalism, but ended up alienating all the other ethnic groups in the federation
