Well I used to agree up until Brexit. Now I am not so sure. The EU is a mess right now and the EU of today may not even exist in 10 years from now. Its really a political union that has over regulated the continent and created a big financial and humanitarian mess. Look at the Economy of Greece, Italy, Portugal and the migrant crisis Merkel created. They don’t seem to be doing that good of a job. The only real reason I want Macedonia to become a part of the EU is that it will raise the socioeconomic status of the country since its so shitty right now.
Also Macedonia not being a part of the EU has been a bit of a mixed blessing. By not being in the EU its energized the Albanians to emigrate from the country into Western Europe stabilizing their numbers.
If you read my post history I have never advocated Macedonia going to war with Albanians. Its not in the interest of the Macedonians or Albanians. As far as Macedonians protecting their country and going to war that’s the job of the Army and not the job of the regular citizens or even mine. They can deal with protecting the country that’s what their paid to do. The last thing the Balkans needs is another war and that goes for every country of the Balkans.
In any case, Macedonia doesn’t need to have a war with the Albanians. All the Macedonians need is time. Don't think so?
Well from independence of Macedonia until around 2006 the raw number of Albanian students was always increasing in the country. It hit a peak of around 77-78000 students in the mid 2000’s. After that date and up until today the number of Albanian students in Macedonia has been collapsing. It has collapsed roughly 17% since 2008 which is just 8 short years. The only explanation of this is emigration of Albanians. So now I ask you, in another 8-10 years from now if these trends continue what will the Albanian population in the country look like?
