2. The question of the Albanians in Macedonia
Just as in the Republic of Serbia, in the Republic of Macedonia, too, there is a considerable number of ethnic Albanians. As in Kosova, in Macedonia, too, the ethnic Albanian lands display territorial continuity. Until a few decades earlier they were known as the Southern part of historical Kosova. Here Albanians lands spread in the North and Eastern part of the republic of Macedonia, from Dibra to Kumanova. It has been for almost 20 years now that the Macedonian authorities do not disclose the exact number of the Albanians living within their Republic. Official figures say that the Albanians represent 23% of Macedonia's population. Meantime, the figure excludes about 170 thousand Albanians under the pretext that they have resigned Macedonian citizenship, which is not true. But other sources speak of a greater magnitude of the Albanians. There are grounds to assert that Albanians constitute 35% of the population of the Republic of Macedonia. The Macedonians make up 55% of the entire country's population including those who consider themselves as Bulgarians (the rest are Serbs, Turkish, gypsies). Given their proportions, there is no way that the Albanians can be treated as minority, but as members with equal rights as the Macedonians in their common state. Regrettably, despite certain rights in the field of elemetary and secondary education and in certain cases even in the field of the local administration, the Albanians in Macedonia undergo discrimination as compared to the Macedonian citizens. The authorities in Shkup go to special lengths to diminish or even neutralize the participation of the Albanians in the state structures and in Macedonian's political life. Indeed, the participation of the Albanians in government structures is something like 2% of the civil and military administration. The number of the Albanian deputies in the Macedonian parliament, due to various manipulations during the electoral process, does not represent the exact number of the Albanian population. The representation rate in the Parliament of Shkup is one deputy for 10 thousand inhabitants, whereas in the Albanian regions, one deputy represents 15 thousands or 18 thousands inhabitants and there are cases of more than that.

As a result of the dsicrimination against the Albanians, consequently as a result of their resentment, notwithstanding positive assessments from the international circles, the Macedonian Republic is a fragile state. The international military troops stationed in the ethnic Albanian ares are making efforts to keep the Macedonian edifice from crumbling down. The world media constantly report on police violence used by the Macedonian administration which ends up in Albanian victims. Certain international circles are trying hard to hush up the pangs of the crisis which is digging from within the foundations of the Macedonian state. But the crisis cannot be relieved and much less overcome, unless the Albanians are granted their national rights as expressed in the relevant international acts. What was said above about Serbia in connection with the growth rates of the Albanian population, is still more relevant about Macedonia. If the actual growth rate persists, the day will not be too distant when the Albanian population will equal outnumber the Macedonian population. Accordingly, the problems of relations between the two ethnities will not decrease, but will increasingly accumulate. To prevent Macedonia's internal crisis from getting any worse which it is bringing upon itself by the violation of the national rights of the Albanians, two are the options leading to its solution: a) Either consider the Albanians as equal with the Macedonians and Macedonia as their common state according to the well known pattern of the Austro-Hungarian state: b)Or grant the Albanians the right to an autonomous province under the Macedonian Republic. These are the alternatives to lift the discrimination of the Albanians in Macedonia as second hand citizens some manifestations of which being: discrimination in budgetary investment, inequality of membership in the judiciary, the suppression of the University of Tetova, the prohibition of the use of their national flag, the prohibition of the Albanian language in official documents, etc.[/FONT]
