Off track: If I wasn't that hungry I would have opened the sandwich and explore its contents.
To the point: Macedonia. The Democratic Union for Integration party threatens Macedonia with federalization. It is in the press, so technically it IS "news". Question - is that really new? No, it isn't.
"If the same mistake takes place again, as the mistake in 2006, when the voice of Albanians wasn't taken into account, then those same Albanians would have to look for another way to organize their choice politically. And, why not, opt for federalization?", announced Mr. Medzhditi two days ago to a Kosovar media. (reported by Focus Information Agency) Heating up. It's unpleasant out of two reasons:
a) neighbouring Kosovo - the notion hyperlinks me to the concept of Great Albania, which concept for now is theoretical
b) the fact that around 30% of the population in Macedonia is Albanian. That is around 600 000 (if we, counting on Wikipedia statistics, assume Macedonia is inhabited by 2 060 000). 30% is a more powerful thing than it may seem at a glance. And it is capable to push a country off board, regardless how big or small the country is, but especially if it is a small country and exclusivelly if it is a Balkan one.
Off track: I've even heard that, when Kosovo declared its independence, the Albanians in Macedonia celebrated more than Kosovar Albanians (scetching some symptoms).
In any case, if politically engaged Albanian leaders dare to speak aggressivelly, I may say, about such delicate issues, that should ring someone's bell.
