On March 3, a delegation of the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia NKPJ and the League of Communist Youth of Yugoslavia (SKOJ) SKOJ held a protest at the Embassy of Poland in Belgrade regarding the persecutions against cadres and members the members of the editorial board of the party's newspaper „Brzask” and the Communist Party of Poland.

The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) denounces the unacceptable persecution by the Polish authorities and the Polish government against the members of the editorial board of the party's newspaper „Brzask”.

Similar anti-communist persecution, convictions and bans against CPs have also been imposed in other EU member states, with the open support of the EU which has elevated anticommunism into being its official ideology, something that goes hand in hand with the intensification of the anti-people onslaught. Now there is enough evidence so that everyone can understand what the EU's declarations about the "values of freedom and democracy" really mean.

We demand here and now the end of all anti-communist persecution cease! We demand that no other types of measures such as banning of symbols or destruction of monument should be taken, such as those being promoted by the government of Poland.  We will continue to resolutely express our solidarity with the Polish communists.

Hands off the communists!
