Kosovo president sets Oct. 6 as date for snap parliamentary vote

Kosovo's President Hashim Thaci set Oct. 6 as the date for an early parliamentary election on Monday, following the resignation of Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.

Haradinaj resigned on July 19 after being summoned for questioning by the country's war crimes prosecutor over his role in the 1998-99 insurgency against Serb forces. Kosovo's parliament voted last week to dissolve itself, paving the way for Thaci to call an early vote.
