BELGRADE - Balkan communist parties gathered at a conference in Belgrade unanimously adopted a Declaration late on Saturday stressing that the Balkans belongs to the Balkan nations.
The Declaration notes that the Balkan nations should live in peace and friendship, cooperate on an equal basis and prevent interference in the region by foreign powers.
The two-day conference, which opened in Belgrade earlier on Saturday, has been organised by the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ).
It is attended by the Communist Party of Greece, the Communist Party of Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Georgi Dimitrov Communist Party, the Bulgarian Socialist Party - Marxist platform, the Communist Party of Romania, and the League of Communists of Macedonia.
NKPJ representatives for Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia and Macedonia are also attending.
The Declaration notes that the fragmentation of the former Yugoslav federation has resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of human lives and huge devastation.
Yugoslavia today is the only Balkan state still to pursue independent foreign and internal policies, the Declaration says, adding that Yugoslavia has repulsed the West's efforts to impose on it a puppet government and turn it into a protectorate.
