Balkan CPs condemn NATO intervention:
Joint statement of the Communist Parties in the Balkans (March 24)

Over the peoples of the Balkans is hanging again the threat of war. The 
NATO countries' ruling classes, especially US, following their self-serving 
imperialist interests, have been, since already ten years, kindling 
conflicts among the Balkan peoples.

At this particular moment, they are bracing themselves for an open 
aggressive attack against a sovereign state. Tomorrow, they are able to 
plunge the whole Balkan area in a fratricidal war.

The CPs of the Balkans condemn the NATO intervention in our region. They 
express the conviction that both the Serb and Albanian peoples; as well as 
the other peoples of the Balkans, are able, by themselves and without any 
foreign intervention, to solve their problems peacefully.

We call the peoples of the Balkans to strengthen their anti-war struggle 
against NATO and US intervention, against any foreign intervention, to 
avoid a fratricidal war among the Balkan peoples.
