The proceedings of the Central Committee were prepared in a highly socialised manner, with widespread direct participation of basic party organizations. The discussion on all issues raised by the C.C. of the WPK resulted in many valuable opinions, conclusions and proposals for improving the party's work. It has proven how huge, not always fully exploited, potential has WPK in their members.
