Political party in Serbia
The New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (Serbian Cyrillic: Нова комунистичка партија Југославије, romanized: Nova Komunistička Partija Jugoslavije, NKPJ) is a far-left political party in Serbia. Its goal is the reunification of Yugoslavia as a socialist state according to Josip Broz Tito's centralist model of Yugoslavism.
The party boycotted the 2007 parliamentary election, because of its position that the electoral law violated fundamental democratic principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 2010 the party was removed from the list of registered parties after failing to re-register under the new electoral law.
Due to the removal from the list of registered parties NKPJ decided to boycott the 2014 parliamentary election as well as all local elections and not join any coalitions. They interrupted several meetings of other political parties urging for boycott of the elections and claiming they were illegal.[1]
History
The founding congress of the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ) was held on 30 June 1990 in Belgrade. The Congress (Founding Assembly) was held in the hall of the Association of Engineers and Technicians of Serbia, with the participation of 265 delegates from all republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The delegates present decided that the party should be named the New Communist Movement of Yugoslavia (NKPJ). That name was valid until 1995, when it was changed to today's New Communist Party of Yugoslavia (NKPJ).
Modern period (2017–present)
In March 2020, NKOJ announced their participation in the 2020 parliamentary election.[2] They submitted their list on 5 June,[3] and they failed to give signatures after its deadline was extended for two days.[4] In late December 2021, they announced their participation in the upcoming 2022 general election.[5]
Ideology
NKPJ is a communist party that endeavors the re-unification of Yugoslavia according to Josip Broz Tito's centralist model.[6]
