League of Communists of Yugoslavia and the First Attempt to Organize the Mediterranean Conference of European Communist Parties in 1967-1968

Summary/Abstract: Czechoslovakian crisis and student rebellions in Western Europe and United States were just some of the aspects of global turmoil that may have influenced a certain number of contemporary historians to mark the year 1968 as the turning point in social and political history of the later half of the 20th century. Alongside these events, communist parties of Western and Eastern Europe were going through a long period of subtile conflicts, while forming interest and ideological blocks that will later play a crucial role in the events that became known as the great schism of the socialist world, when the Soviet party finally lost the influence over the future eurocommunist parties, which was a period also marked by the sudden rise of the international influence of the Lague of Commmunists of Yugoslavia. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to contribute to the scientific research of the Yugoslav role in the events that predated and may have influenced the stated conflicts between the communist parties of Eastern and Western Europe, of which some aspects best came to light in the case of the failed atempt of Yugoslav and Italian communists to organize an international conference of the Marxist parties of Mediterranean. The paper is based upon the results of the research that included the unpublished sources from the historical archives of former Yugoslavia, which were analysed by implementation of the traditional historical method, as well as analysis of the scientific literature which provided social and ideological context of the researched historical events.
