DS to run the elections as a party or as individuals?
"Politika" further specifies that Democratic Party (DS) could be found on that list, or if it remains devoted to a boycott, some of its prominent individuals might join this list.

The Democratic Party should make its final decision at a session of its Main Committee, which should take place by the end of the week, that is, under the statute, on February 29th.
DS MP Natasa Vuckovic told the newspaper that it would be a good decision for the party to go to parliamentary elections on a list of related pro-European parties.
"The Democratic Party now has the opportunity to assess whether it was a good decision in September to boycott the elections and, in my opinion, to correct that decision ... I expect that a large number of municipal committees, in addition to Paracin, will support the idea of the DS participating in local elections", Vuckovic said.
She added that she expects that a decision could be made for the DS to run for parliamentary elections as well.
