Delegates from communist and communist leaning parties in Serbia have elected Josip Joska Broz as their united political party leader.

Josip Joska Broz or JJ Broz is the grandson of an ethnic Croatian communist dictator Josip Broz Tito who ruled Yugoslavia after dethroning the western leaning King Peter Karadjordjevic in a bloody WWII power struggle.

JJ Broz says that the newly constituted communist party will be a “modern” party that will seek EU integration and a closure to privatization in Serbia.

“As a difference with the once Communist Party, whose members had to be atheists, our party will respect the freedom of religion for our members,” Broz said.

JJ Broz entered politics in 2003 as a leader of the coalition called Workers’ Future of Serbia comprised of Workers Party of Yugoslavia, Ecological Party of Vojvodina, Serbian National Socialist Party of Workers, Unemployed, Pensioners and Peasants and the Yugoslav Party of Good Will.

“Communist Party is open to accept additional 14 small parties with communist prefix across the country,” said JJ Broz.

JJ Broz’s father is Zarko, Tito’s oldest son.

Over 20 years ago, JJ Broz stood trial for shooting at 3 individuals and wounding a woman.

“Then I was shooting at known Belgrade criminals… because they attacked my friend. The bullet ricochet and hit another woman in her foot,” says JJ Broz.

JJ Broz is confident that by January, the coalition will secure 10,000 signatures in order to register the new party.

“Our aim is the 10% from the 60% of the undecided voters in Serbia,” says JJ Broz.

The new Communist Party has representatives in the city councils of Novi Sad, Zrenjanin and Vrbas.
