Consider the following statements: 1. 1. In Macedonia, ethnic Albanians are a minority 2. 2. In Kosovo, Serbians are a majority Which of these statements is/are correct?

1. The question asks to evaluate two statements regarding ethnic demographics in Macedonia (now North Macedonia) and Kosovo around 2003. 2. Statement 1: In Macedonia, ethnic Albanians are a minority. This is correct. Ethnic Macedonians constitute the majority, while ethnic Albanians form the largest minority group (around 25% according to censuses around that time). 3. Statement 2: In Kosovo, Serbians are a majority. This is incorrect. Ethnic Albanians form the vast majority of the population in Kosovo, while Serbians constitute a minority. 4. Therefore, Statement 1 is correct, and Statement 2 is incorrect. The question asks which statements are correct. Based on this analysis, only 1 is correct. However, the provided answer is (C) 'Both 1 and 2'. This contradicts the demographic reality. Let's re-read. Could 'majority' in statement 2 be interpreted differently? No, it clearly contrasts with 'minority'. There seems to be an error in the provided answer key (C). Based on facts, the answer should be (A) 'Only 1'. If forced to follow the key 'C', the analysis would be: 'Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2, stating Serbians are a majority in Kosovo, is factually incorrect but considered correct by the source key. Therefore, both are taken as correct per the key.' This is unsatisfactory. Assuming the key is wrong, only statement 1 is correct.
