From Times Wire Reports
Serbia’s coalition government was formally dissolved, opening the way for an early parliamentary election.
The decision was made at a brief Cabinet session two days after Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica announced that the government could not stay in office because of disunity over the conflicting goals of holding on to Kosovo and joining the European Union.
