Pristina is its capital (6)
I believe the answer is:
kosovo
'pristina is its capital' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for kosovo that I've seen before include "Part of former Yugoslavia" , "Land recently emerging" , "Balkan state declared independent in 2008" , "Former province of Serbia that declared independence in 2008, capital Pristina" , "UN-administered area of former Yugoslavia" .)
