^[1] In December 1959, N. Khrushchev, Head of the Soviet Government, who preferred to settle the important international issues only through talks with the chiefs of imperialism, made arrangements through diplomatic channels to call a top level conference with the participation of the Heads of the Governments of the USSR, USA, Britain and France. This conference was to be held in May 1960, but it was not held because of the sabotage of the U.S. imperialists and the vacillating adventurist stand of N. Khrushchev.    [p. 19]

^[2] Through this proposal and the notes the Soviet Government addressed on May 25, 1959 to the Governments of Albania, Bulgaria, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Britain and the USA, the creation was sought of a zone free of nuclear weapons and missiles in the Balkans and the Adriatic region.    [p. 28]

^[4] In its letter on June 2, 1960, the CC of the CPSU proposed to call a meeting of the representatives of the Communist and Workers' Parties of the socialist camp towards the end of June in order <<to exchange views on the problems of the present international situation and to map out a further commonline>>. But on June 7, 1960, the CC of the CPSU, in another letter, expressed the opinion that this meeting should not be held in June but at a date to be set by a preliminary gathering of the representatives of the Communist and Workers' Parties of the socialist countries at the time of the 3rd Congress of the Rumanian Workers Party in Bucharest.    [p. 38]

^[5] At the 2nd Plenum of the CC of the CPA held in Berat in June 1944, the delegate of the CC of the Yugoslav Communist Party hatched up a plot behind the scenes against the Communist Party of Albania with the participation of the anti-Party elements Sejfulla Maleshova, Koçi Xoxe and Pandi Kristo. The main objective of this conspiracy was to overthrow the Party leadership headed by Comrade Enver Hoxha and to replace it with a new pro-Yugoslav leadership.
This objective failed to materialize because of the opposition offered by most of the members of the CC of the Communist Party of Albania.    [p. 69]
