Question: Oliver Ivanovic  a prominent Kosovo Serb politician  was killed in a brazen drive-by shooting on Tuesday that could reignite ethnic tensions in the region.
An EU-backed Kosovo court sentenced  Ivanovic  in 2015 to a nine-year jail term after it found him guilty of encouraging the killings of captured ethnic Albanian civilians in Kosovska Mitrovica in April 1999.
In February last year  a Pristina appeals court quashed the sentence and ordered a retrial for  Ivanovic   who had been in detention since his arrest in January 2014 until the acquittal.
"Serbs are more afraid of Serbs than Albanians "  Ivanovic  -- a rare Kosovo Serb in that  he  spoke Albanian -- said at the time. "Serb people are afraid to raise their voice" against Belgrade's policy.
A former Serbian state secretary for Kosovo   Ivanovic  was a key interlocutor with NATO  the United Nations and later the EU after the war and was seen as backing dialogue with Kosovo's ethnic Albanians.

Answer: Oliver Ivanovic


Question: There have been âapparent attemptsâ to intimidate reporters working for international outlets who have reported on a state-sponsored campaign against  George Soros   the AP suggests  without citing any evidence to this effect.
The AP describes  Soros  benevolently as a âHungarian-American investor â a âphilanthropistâ and a âHolocaust survivor â while failing to mention the billionaireâs history of destabilizing governments for personal financial gain  funding left-wing campaigns and being convicted of insider trading.
 Soros   the AP alleges  âhas long promoted what  he  calls an âopen societyâ and supports controlled migration.  He  funds a university in Budapest and civic organizations  including some seen as critical of Orban.â
The AP criticizes the OrbÃ¡n governmentâs opposition to  Soros  along with their investigation into  his  attempts to bring  his  tremendous financial influence to bear on Hungaryâs political situation.

Answer: George Soros


Question: The region's spirit has inspired contemporary Norwegian pianist and composer Jon Balke â who  with his group Siwan  recently released his second album drawn from those influences  titled Nahnou Houm.
 Balke  first learned of Al-Andalus when  he  was commissioned to write music by a Moroccan promoter to celebrate a venue's 15th anniversary.
"This was how I stumbled upon Gharnati music  which is the Andalusian music that existed in 1400 in Spain and was driven out  " Balke  says.
The intellectual and social exchange fostered by  its  rulers helped make Al-Andalus one of the most culturally rich areas of Europe. But the Christian kingdoms to the north attacked repeatedly  and in 1492  the Spanish crown reclaimed the last vestiges of the region. Muslims and Jews were either forced to convert  killed or expelled. Many sought refuge across the Mediterranean Sea.
An Algerian classical singer  Boutchebak is the lead vocalist on the new album by  Jon Balke  and Siwan. She says the culture of what came to be called Andalusia was carried and preserved by the exiles.
 Jon Balke  has taken this tradition's poetry and composed  his  own music around it.
"It's a framing of the musical project "  Balke  says. "It puts the project in a framework that speaks about history and that speaks about a kind of a mentality that  from what you can read  existed in the best parts of this period â a kind of open  liberal practice of tolerance and coexistence.

Answer:
Jon Balke
