Resolution On Solidarity With Goran Markovic

Communist and workers' parties, gathered at their meeting
in the Athens, condemn illegal expulsion of Goran Markovic,
president of the Workers' Communist Party of Bosnia and
Herzegovina, from privately owned Slobomir P University in
Bijeljina, where he worked as a teaching assistant.

Comrade Markovic was expelled because of his political
convictions and membership in the communist party, after he
refused illegal request of his employer to quit all
activities in the party.

According to international conventions on human rights and
legal system in Bosnia and Herzegovina firing of Goran
Markovic is illegal and anti-constitutional and represents
an act of political discrimination.

International conference of communist and workers' parties
supports Goran Markovic in his struggle in front of the
court and demands his back to the working place.
