BELGRADE, Feb 27 (Hina) - Yugoslavia on Tuesday annulled a decree from 1947 on the Serbian royal family Karadjordjevic, giving them back citizenship and their property confiscated at the time. The Yugoslav parliament's upper house
adopted a law annulling the decree on Monday and the lower house adopted it today, making the law effective. A representative of the Yugoslav government, which is the sponsor of the law, said the Karadjordjevic family would be given back citizenship immediately. The question of property will be regulated with a special law after it is established what was state and what private property, he said. Miroljub Labus explained on behalf of the government that the question of the Karadjordjevic property would be resolved "later, within the issue of denationalisation." He added that by resolving the issue of the Karadjordjevic family, the government wanted to "correct mistakes from the past."(
