Western imperialism, led by the USA, in the referendum of 21 May 2006 

in Montenegro unfortunately realized its destructive goal of 

creating the project begun in 1990 of totally smashing the Socialist 

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was the equal-rights union of

Yugoslav nations and ethnic minorities and the first socialist state in 

the history of Yugoslavia.

  The first phase of the final blow of western imperialism on the 

remnants of Yugoslavia was carried out on 4 February 2003, when the 

bourgeois pro-imperialist counter-revolutionary regimes in Belgrade and 

Podgorica resolved to terminate the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 

and the second and final phase was executed this past Saturday in the 

“referendum” in Podgorica. Although the League of communist youth of 

Yugoslavia (SKOJ), as the youth movement of the new Communist Party of 

Yugoslavia (NKPJ), categorically stood against the  dissolution of 

the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and against the creation of the 

union of con-federal creatures of Serbia and Montenegro under the control 

of the pro-imperialist regime in Belgrade and Podgorica. SKOJ supported 

the call of the Party to working people, anti-imperialists, patriots

and progressive citizens in Montenegro to make clear their opposition 

to the secession of Montenegro, primarily because something so 

retrograde was the primary goal of western imperialism under the 

leadership of the USA.

  The goal of western imperialism is to realize political, economic, and 

military expansion to the east, toward Russia, among other things, 

and to destroy the unity of Serbia and Montenegro was also demolish the 

mutual tolerance between the working class of Montenegro and the 

working class of Serbia.

  SKOJ unshakably stands on the positions of the International Communist 

Youth against change of borders in the Balkans that were established 

after the Second World War. The policy “the worse, the better” is 

the basic idea  of western imperialism on the territory of former 

Yugoslavia.

  SKOJ expresses deep regret and bitterness at the destruction of the 

state of Serbia and Montenegro by the fraudulent “referendum” 

perpetrated

under the umbrella of the European Union.

  Many unassailable facts show that the secession of Montenegro had been 

planned jointly by Djukanovic’s pro-imperialist bourgeois regime with 

the leadership of the EU and the USA. Numerous moves and measures of 

the pro-imperialist government in Podgorica on the eve and in the course

of the referendum were undertaken by arrangement with the western 

masters. 

  The referendum question in large measure suggests an answer in favor of 

termination of the common state.

  Besides that, the organizers of the “referendum” had to resort to 

gross fabrications together with the active participation of EU 

representatives Lajcik and Lipka. 

  Also, on the eve of the “referendum” Djukanovic’s pro-imperialist 

separatist regime used the controlled pupprt-state media to intensify 

the 

separatist atmosphere and anti-Serb mood. 

  Many examples were recorded of arrests of anti-secession activists and 

of attempts to falsify lists of voters, as well as other 

irregularities. Montenegro’s citizens resident in Serbia were denied 

their right to vote on 21 May. Milo Djukanovic’s and Montenegro’s 

pro-imperialist campaign was also supported by some pro-imperialist 

bourgeois parties in Serbia, the most influential being the part of the 

regime in power in Belgrade.

  SKOJ, with disgust, rejects the recognition by the Belgrade regime of 

the “referendum” results. This clearly shows, despite their 

pro-forma 

support of a unified state their pro-imperialist orientation. 

  The people of Serbia and Montenegro are fore-ordained by destiny to 

live in a unified state and to share the good and the bad.

  The idea of living together in one state is eternal and will outlive 

the secessionists and traitors of all stripes. The day will come when  

the working class of Montenegro and the working class of Serbia will 

unite and say NO to their pro-imperialist rulers and extend the hand to 

their proletarian brothers and sisters from the territory of our 

socialist fatherland, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, in the 

struggle for true freedom, equality and independence. This will come 

about only by driving out imperialism from our territory.

Long live the brotherhood and unity of Serbia and Montenegro!

Long live the brotherhood and unity of the peoples of the Socialist 

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia!

The Balkans belong to the Balkan peoples!
