Telegram to I. Broz-Tito, June 9, 1948

Source: Tom 18

The CC of the VKP(b) has learned that the Yugoslav government has declared Hebrang and Zujovic traitors and enemies of the motherland. We understand this to mean that the Politburo of the CC CPY intends to physically liquidate them. The CC of the VKP(b) declares that if the Politburo of the CC CPY carries out this design, the CC of the VKP(b) will consider the Politburo of the CC CPY to be criminal murderers. The CC of the VKP(b) demands that the investigation of the case of Hebrang and Zujovic regarding the alleged incorrect information provided to the CC of the VKP(b) be conducted with the participation of representatives of the CC of the VKP(b). We await an immediate reply.
