Best opportunity the Albanian minority has to pound a bigger foot-mark on North Macedonia. The Albanian parties will enjoy their play as kingmakers.

Zaev has Kasami on his side. Would Ahmeti, or even Sela and Thaçi, join Mickoski if the price was right? (i.e., an Albanian ethnic Prime Minister?).

I don't see them uniting under one Albanian candidate free of a VMRO or SDSM embrace. They don't have the seats, and worse, they have too many alpha-male personalities (some who hate each other).

An Albanian PM was a sticking point, I think deftly handled by Zaev. A hundred days isn't enough to make a legislative impression, but it will be enough for a personable PM from the second-largest group in the country to make the case to the Macedonian people that he should be given a chance to hold on to the job for a lot longer.
