Statement on Kosovo
The press bureau of CC of KKE issued on 2 February 2008 the following statement:
The Communist Party of Greece demands from the Greek government to not recognize the independence of Kosovo, regardless the way in which it will be imposed.
KKE warns of the dangerous consequences of the pressure exercised both by the US Administration and EU for the immediate proclamation of independence and for the deployment of an EU police force in the province of Kosovo.
Responsibility for this situation bear also the Greek governments of Nea Dimokratia, the previous ones led by PASOK as well as other forces in Greece due to their stand and actions regarding the issue.
In the opinion of KKE the proclamation of independence means changing of borders in the Balkans. This will create a dangerous precedent threatening with destabilization the entire region and more.
The move is against the interests of the Albanian and other people.
The decision regarding Kosovo will increase pressure for solutions against the will of the Cypriot, the Palestinian and all other people fighting for freedom.
KKE calls upon the Greek people to further reinforce the struggle demanding immediate withdrawal of all Greek armed forces from the occupied territories abroad.
