xml-serialization

My XmlFile looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <document-inquiry> <publication-reference data-format="docdb" xmlns="http://www.epo.org/exchange"> <document-id> <country>EP</country> <doc-number>2160088</doc-number> <kind>A1</kind> </document-id> </publication-reference> </document-inquiry>

For the above xml i need to get the xpath of a specific element say for example "country element" as

My Output: "/document-inquiry/publication-reference/document-id/country"

My Input : By using its value "EP"

This is the code i tried

doc.SelectSingleNode("/document-inquiry/publication-reference/document-id[text()='EP']");

I receivev null for the above code.

I have to get it using the c# code. Can anyone pls help me on this
