Nova borba

Nova borba was a Serbo-Croatian weekly newspaper published in Prague, by exiled Yugoslav Cominformists. It was printed in Roman alphabet. The publication was intended for clandestine distribution inside Yugoslavia.
Nova borba was the first émigré Cominformist publication. It was founded by two former staff members of the Yugoslav embassy in Washington D.C., Slobodan-Lale Ivanović and Pero Dragila. Nova borba began publication in early October 1948. It obtained a publishing permit from the Czechoslovak Ministry of Information, and was printed at the printing shop of the Svoboda newspaper. Nova borba was published by the Committee of Yugoslav Revolutionary Emigrants in the People's Republic of Czechoslovakia.
Nova borba became the epicentre of Cominformist exiles in Prague, and the group behind it maintained links to Bedřich Geminder. The group linked to Nova Borba also began issuing a youth-oriented newspaper, Mladi revolucionar. Once Nova borba began publication the Yugoslav embassy in Prague issued a protest towards the Czechoslovak government, charging it with having provided support for the publication. The Federal [People's Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslav government] labelled the group behind Nova borba as 'traitors'.
Nova borba had a particular focus on the conditions of Yugoslav emigrant communities in the United States and other locations.
The publication was soon to be overshadowed by a new Moscow-based Cominformist organ, Za socijalističku Jugoslaviju.
In its August 8, 1949 issue Nova borba called for a 'true Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of Yugoslavia' to be reestablished. Similar calls would later appear in other émigré Cominformist organs, but no such party formation materialized.
In August 1956 a Yugoslav court sentenced two former Nova borba editors, Milutin Rajković and Jovan Prodanović, to eight and five years imprisonment.
