Kosovo lawmakers vote to dissolve parliament, paving way for election

Kosovo lawmakers voted to dissolve parliament on Friday, paving the way for a national election after Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj resigned last month. A total of 89 deputies voted to dissolve the 120-seat parliament. An election should take place within 45 days.

Haradinaj resigned after being summoned for questioning by the country's war crimes prosecutor over his role in the 1998-99 insurgency against Serbian forces when he was a commander of the guerilla Kosovo Liberation Army.
