Without knowing the politics (or history) behind it, does this make sense to you?

From an ethnic Albanian point of view, the fact that the Albanian population in Macedonia constitutes such a significant portion of the entire population is grounds for demanding that the constitution be changed so as to make the Albanians a constituent nation, alongside the Macedonian, thereby recognizing Albanian as an official language. Were those changes to be made, however, the Republic of Macedonia would no longer be what the ethnic Macedonians envision: a national state of the (ethnic) Macedonian people. And without a state of its own, the Macedonian nation would become an easy target for those Balkan neighbors (Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian) who regard this small nation as a historical falsification.
