Kosovo parliament dissolved, president urges snap electionAP, PRISTINAKosovar President Vjosa Osmani on Friday after dissolving the Kosovar parliament said a snap election should be held as soon as possible to avoid another prolonged political crisis in the Balkan country at a time of global turmoil. “It is very hard now to imagine what will happen next.”Kosovar President Vjosa Osmani speaks during a news conference to dissolve the Kosovo parliament in Pristina on Friday. Osmani dissolved parliament after lawmakers failed to elect her successor by a midnight Thursday deadline due to a lack of a quorum in the 120-member assembly. An election in February last year resulted in no clear majority and an almost year-long political deadlock that forced a snap vote in December last year. The party has asked the Kosovo Constitutional Court to temporarily suspend the deadline for the election of Kosovo’s next president.
