To the CC of the New CP of Yugoslavia
Dear comrades,
We learned with
great sadness today of the death of cde Branko Kitanovic, General Secretary
of your party.
Cde Branko Kitanovic,
loyal to the end to the ideals of communism, on the road which was paved
by the Great October Socialist Revolution, dedicated his whole life
to the struggle for the rights of the workers of your country, for the
cause of socialism-communism, On this road he confronted the forces
of Titoist opportunism and fiercely defended the USSR and the cause
of proletarian internationalism, unconcerned by the persecutions and
other consequences. After the overthrow of socialism, he gave all his
strength for the regroupment of the communist movement in Yugoslavia,
on the basis of Marxism-Leninism and assisted in the more general regroupment
and coordination of the activity of the anti-imperialist and communist
movement in the Balkans and at an international level.
The sudden death
of comrade Branko is certainly a great loss for your party and the international
communist movement, but the personal example of comrade Branko will
be a compass for thousands of young communists in Serbia, who today
are entering the furnace of the class struggle.
We ask you, dear
comrades, to convey our sincere condolences to all the comrades and
family of cde Branko.
The CC of the
KKE
