Government is dissolved
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.
“The government did not have a united and common policy anymore,” a statement said.
President Boris Tadic must disband parliament and set a date for the election, probably May 11.
