No. 423671

The Government of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia, as has already been declared on several occasions, considers that the setting up of a United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans is contrary to the letter and spirit of the United Nations Charter, · and cannot therefore recognize it. The Yugoslav Government therefore cannot take into consideration the suggestions and proposals from such a body.

All previous activities of the so-called United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans has proved the correctness of such an attitude of the Government of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. This Connnittee has not been acting in the spirit of the United Nat,ions Charter, but as an instruJnent of the policy of the United States of America and Great Britain, obviously with the purpose of concealing their interference in Greek internal affairs and their military intervention in Greece.

The previous resolutions of the so-called Special Committee on the Balkans can only be interpreted as an attempt to give false information to the world public opinion concerning the real state of affairs in Greece, and to throw the responsibility for the civil ~rar in Greece from the real culprits, onto her northern neighbors, who have been complying strictly with the United Nations Charter.

The latest resolution of this Committee which states that the fighters of the Democratic Army who cross into the territory of the northern neighbors of Greece should be disarmed, is obviously aimed to show the world public opinion that Yugoslavia, that is, the northern neighbors of Greece, do not comply with international obligations and customs, and that they do not observe the United Nations Charter. Moreover, the setting forth of the report of this Co:mmittee before the Third Session of the General Assembly, evidently has as its purpose, through false accusations against Yugoslavia and Greece's other northern neighbors, the diversion of the attention of world public opinion from the warmongering and the aggressive provocations of the Greek Government in Athens, and facilitating the utilization of a majority in the United Nations, for the concealment of the intensified intervention of the United States of America in Greece.

· In view of the ·· foregoing, the Government of ·the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia refuses to give a reply to the resolution of the so-called United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans of August lJ, 1948.

GENERAL BY BULGARIAN MINISTER TO UNITEDSTATES CONCERNING RESUMPTION

OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN BULGARIA AND GREECE •1 HAVE THE HONOR

TO INFORM YOU THAT ON JUNE 301 19481 I RECEIVED YOUR TELEGRAM RELAYING

LETTER MR. ALEXIS KYROU, PERMANENT REPRESENTATIVE OF GREECE TO UNITED

NATIONS, ADDRESSED TO YOU ON SUBJECT OF RESUMPTION OF DIPLOMATIC

RELATIO S BETWEEN BULGARIA AND GREECE. IN ACCORDANCE ~7ITH YOUR REQ.UEST,

I FORWARDED SAID LETTER TO MY GOVERNMENT WITHOUT DELAY •. I SHALL PERMIT

MYSELF TO REPLY IN DETAIL TO THIS LETTER UPON RECEIPT OF INSTRUCTIONS.

FOR THE PRESENT, I SHOULD LIKE TO MAKE ONLY FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONSI

GREEK GOVERNMENT HAS ACCUSED BULGARIAN GOVERNMENT OF PROPOSING TO

NEGOTIATE REGARDING REESTAB~ISHMENT or DIPL MATIC RELATIONS ON EVE Of

FORTHCOMING SESSION OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF UNITED NATIONS WITH AIM OF

IMPROVING ITS OWN POSITION ~ITH REGARD TO ASSEMBLY. ACCORDING TO

GREEK GOVERNMENT, THIS ACTION ON PART or BULGARIA IS SIMPLY A MANEUVER.

THIS DEROGATORY INSINUATION COULD HAVE BEEN SPARED US, MAINLY BECAUSE

IT DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO TRUTH. PROPOSAL THAT DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

BE RESUHED WAS NOT INITIATED BY BULGARIAJ SHE ONLY REPLIED TO NUMEROUS

REQUESTS MADE BY GREEK GOVERNMENT, BY SECRETARY OF UNITED NATIONS,

AND BY UNITED NATIONS BALKAN COMMISSION IN SALONIKA. OUR SUGGESTION

CONCERNING PROCEDt.mE or NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN TWO REPRESENTATIVES IN

WASHINGTON OCCURRED IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF DEVELOPMENTS AND tfAS NOT

INFLUENCED IN ANY WAY BY THE DATE or THE FORTHCOMING SESSION OF UNITED

NATIONS~ I NOTE WITH REGRET THAT ALTHOUGH f1Y LETTER OF JUNE

251 1948 .CONTAINED NO DISCOURTESY, REPLY OF GREEK GOVERNMENT HAS

INSULTING IN TONE AND IN CONTENT. IT REPEATED SO MANY OF THE OLD,

TRITE, AND GROUNDLESS ACCUSATIONS, THAT READINESS OF GaEEK GOVERNMENT

FOR RESUMPTION or DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS, AS ·[XPRESSED IN LAST PARAGRAPH

OF LETTER, SOUNDS VERY UNCONVINCING AND INSINCERE. ON BASIS OF THIS

REPLY, IF I MAY USE ONE OF MR KYROU'S FAVORITE EXPRESSIONS, •THE

WHOLE ~ORLD• WILL UNDERSTAND THAT RESUMPTION OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS

CANNOT BE EFFECTUATED BLINDLY AND THAT IN ORDER TO ARRIVE AT DESIRED

GOAL, PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION OF DIFFERENCES BECOMES A NECESSITY.

THIS INDICATES PLAINLY HOW UNFOUNDED AND DETRIMENTAL ~AS CATEGORICAL

REFUSAL OF GREEK G~VERNMENT TO HEAR AND DISCUSS OUR VIEWS, TO SAY

NOTHING OF FACT THAT ELEMENTARY POLITENESS REQUIRES THAT THOSE VIEWS

BE PERMITTED EXPRESSION AND OPINION PASSED ON THEM. HOWEVER, IT SHOULD

BE NOTED THAT NEGATIVE STAND OF GREEK GOVERNMENT HAD APPARENTLY BEEN

DECIDED UPON MN BEFORE MEETING TOOK PLACE BETWEEN AMBASSADOR p 2

DENDRAMIS AND MYSELF, AT t1HICH MEETING MR. DENDRAMIS OBLIGED ME BY

READING ENTIRE TEXT OF GREEK REPLY TO SECRETARIAT OF UNITED NATIONS

AND PARTICULARLY STRESSED EXPRESSION WHEREBY •GREEK GOVERNMENT AGREES

TO NEGOTIATE ON FORMALITIES OF REESTABLISHMENT OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS.•

THIS TERM WAS EVIDENTI..Y USED WITH FULL CONSCIOUSNESS AND SHOWS THAT

GREEK GOVERNMENT HAD DECIDED NOT TO DISCUSS ANY QUESTIONS or SUBSTANCE.

STATEMENT OF GREEK GOVERNMENT THAT IT IS READY TO DISCUSS ONLY

•FORMALITIES"' IS TANTAMOUNT TO A VIRTUAL REFUSAL TO NEGOTIATE.

AMBASSADOR DENDRAMIS ADOPTED A NEGATIVE STAND EVEN ON QUESTION OF AN

EVENTU~L DECLARATION AVOtvING THE LACK or ANY AGGRESSIVE INTENTIONS

AGAINST OUR TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY. THIS CONDUCT or THE GREEK

GOVERNMENT, CONSEQUENTLY, 1S RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPASSE CREATED, AND

ith reference to my letter No.485.3 of 29 June 19/42,, I have the honour to inform you that Mr. Vassili Dendram:is, Greek .Ambassador in Washington, has addressed a letter to Dr.Nisim Mevorah,Bulgarian Minister in Washington, in reply to the latter's communication concerning the resumption of GreekBulgarian relations of 25 June 1948.

In his letter Mr.Dendramis brings to the knowledge of mr.Mevorah the _coo.munique issued by the R.Greek Ministry for Foreign Affairs on this subject, which reflects the position of the R.Greek Government in this respect.

I thought it necessary to keep you informed on this action.

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF BULGARIA

No. 1601

Excellency:

... ., .. SUBJ. IND . • , , ............. . .

JUN 28 1948

June 25, 1948

I regret to have to inform you that my negotiations with Ambassador Dendramis regarding the eventual resumption of diplomatic relations between our two countries have reached an impasse at the very first meeting. Upon my initial attempt to express the views of my Government on this question, Mr. Dendramis explicitly stated that he had no authority to conduct negotiations on the substance of any questions; that he is prepared to discuss only the formalities relative to the resumption of diplomatic relations, and that this term implies questions such as the designation of persons that might eventually be appointed Ministers, the setting of dates for the exchange of representatives, and similar matters. I took the stand that questions of such tenhnical character could not possibly constitute the object of negotiations between us; the naming of Ministers Plenipotentiary and the setting of dates is of the exclusive competence of each of the two Governments. At this point I asked whether the Greek Ambassador would not consider an eventual declaration to the effect that the Government of Greece is prepared to respect our present political and territorial integrity and that it has no aggressive intentions toward Bulgaria. For the last time Mr. Dendramis stated that he has no authority to discuss questions of this sort, and this reiteration of his stand terminated our conversation.

My Government has stated its views on the resumption of diplomatic relations with Greece in a letter to the United Nations and through the medium of the press. When it suggested recently that direct negotiations be carried out by the representatives in Washington of the two countries, it firmly believed that the questions stipulated in its statements would be discussed. The Greek Government may or may not accept our views, but I feel that it si,~ld

not reject a proposal to discuss them. By this refusal the Greek Government clearly declines our offer to negotiate, which indicates that the good will of the Bulgarian Government is not reciprocated.

I am, Your Excellency,
