| 06/06/1999, The recent roots of the bloody break-up of the former Yugoslavia lies in
the deepening crisis it faced in the 1980s. Throughout the 1980s its
economic situation worsened. By 1987 inflation was running at over 100%
a year, by mid-1988 the annual rate reached 160%. Workers’ living
standards were falling with the result that protests and struggles began
to develop. At the same time, like in other Stalinist countries, growing
sections of the ruling bureaucratic elite were looking towards
capitalism, and turning themselves into capitalists, as a way out.
Concretely this meant trying to secure ownership and control over the
state’s assets.
CWI statement |
| 27/03/1999, The massive NATO attack on Serbia has hugely exacerbated the crisis in
the Balkans and threatens to widen the conflict further, with terrible
repercussions. Already there has been Serb shelling of Albania and
pro-Serb riots in Macedonia. Working class people, Kosovar Albanians,
Serbs and the masses of the Balkans, will be the main victims of this
imperialist war and its consequences.
Committee for a Workers’ International statement |
| 01/01/1998, The clashes and deaths in Kosovo have put on the agenda the possibility
of war breaking out in the Balkans for the fourth time this decade.
Already over 100,000 have been killed in the three previous wars, with
nearly a million and a half people "ethnically cleansed" and forced into
exile. Before this year’s deaths 40 Albanians had been killed by Serbian
security forces in 1997.
