Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) Only 1
Ethnic Albanians formed roughly 25 % of Macedonia’s population, so they were a minority, making statement 1 correct. Kosovo, however, was overwhelmingly Albanian (≈90 %) with Serbs a small minority, so statement 2 is incorrect; hence only statement 1 is right.
