In the following decades, Yugoslavia continued to be among the leading promoters of the ideas and fun- damental principles of non-alignment policy, while at the same time working to deepen cooperation with all developing countries in numerous areas. Following the collapse of the Socialist Yugoslavia and subsequent events, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia applied for observer status in the Non-Aligned Movement, which was accepted at the NAM ministerial meeting of No- vember 2001, held in New York. The Republic of Serbia regularly participates in NAM summits and ministerial meetings, while it was itself the organiser of the Ministerial Meeting of NAM Countries dedicated to the 50 th anniversary of the First Conference of Heads of State and Govern- ment of non-aligned countries, held in Belgrade on 5 th and 6 th September 2011. Serbia is committed and consistent in implement- ing the basic principles of multilateralism based on the UN Charter and international law - preserving peace and security, respecting the sovereignty and territo- rial integrity of all states, as well as strengthening co- operation in the process of finding common respons- es to all modern global challenges. The Non-Aligned Movement’s role in these processes remains of great importance and it is necessary to work on it continu- ing to play an active and constructive role in realising the vital interests of the largest number of countries and peoples to achieve permanent peace and prosperity. The Republic of Serbia is proud that it will, as the host of this gathering, have the great honour and pleas- ure of welcoming its traditional friends from all parts of the world. An official publication is currently being prepared to commemorate the 60 th anniversary of the first conference of non-aligned countries, which was held in Belgrade in 1961. The publication, which is being produced by CorD Magazine publisher alliance international media, in cooperation with the Government of Serbia, will be distributed at all official gatherings organised to mark this occasion.
