BELGRADE, Serbia (CNN) -- The Serbian opposition party hoped to fare better in Sunday's municipal runoff elections after being soundly beaten by President Slobodan Milosevic's leftist coalition in national elections two weeks ago.

The opposition Zajedno (Together) coalition alleged abuses during the November 3 elections in several districts, charging that officials would not allow opposition members to take part in some electoral boards, which supervise ballot counting and voting procedures.
