Yugoslavian Left


Yugoslavian Levice / Југословенска левица, JUL) - a Yugoslavian (actually Serbian) political party with a communist profile.

The party was formed in 1994 from a merger of 19 small left-wing organizations, including the League of Communists - Movement for Yugoslavia. Ljubiš Ristić, a cultural activist, was actually in control of Mirjana Marković, the wife of Slobodan Milosevic. The jul was under close control of the leader of the Socialist Party of Serbia and his wife. The group was to appeal to voters supporting the federation, which did not correspond to the SPS Serbian nationalism. The party maintained close contacts with communist groups from China, Cuba and North Korea. JUL was in the first election in the coalition with the Socialists and the New Democracy. She received about 10 seats in the federal parliament in 1996, and in 1997 she had 20 seats in Skupszt. The Yugoslav Left was completely lost in importance after the fall of Slobodan Milosevic. In the national elections in 2000 JUL received less than 0.4% of votes. After the arrest of her husband Mirjana Marković, threatened with her own criminal trial, she went to Russia. The party was launched in 2003 (about 0.1% of the vote) and was dissolved in the same year.
