Italy's Berlusconi says may not stand in 2013 election
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said on Tuesday he was ready to drop plans to lead the centre-right in next year's parliamentary election and did not rule out a second term for Prime Minister Mario Monti.
"Silvio Berlusconi has always said and continues to say that he is ready to stand aside to allow all moderates to unite in a single force which can face the left together," he told his own Canale 5 television network. (AP)
