Belgrade - Serbia's largest opposition party, the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), decided yesterday to take part in next month's parliamentary election in Yugoslavia, dropping a threat to boycott the vote.
The party, led by Mr Vuk Draskovic, said it had submitted a list of its candidates for both houses of the federal parliament. This decision means that the SPO will take part in all three elections on September 24th. Ms Mira Markovic, the wife of Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, who heads the neo-communist Yugoslav Left (JUL), has said she will run for a seat in the parliament's lower chamber, the House of Citizens.
