Dead candidate could stand in Serbian elections

Former communist leader Josip Tito has been proposed as a presidential candidate in Serbia's forthcoming elections despite being dead for 22 years.

The student-led Otpor, or Resistance, political movement says his ghost would be better than any living politician.

It was one of the key forces behind the ousting of Slobodan Milosevic.

The group is trying to gather 10,000 signatures to support the proposal.

A spokesman said: "In only two hours we collected hundreds of signatures in support of Tito's candidacy."

The communist leader ruled in Yugoslavia from 1945 to his death in 1980.
