PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said Friday after dissolving Parliament that 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.
Osmani told The Associated Press in an interview that it is important for Kosovo to wrap up the upcoming election process and form functional institutions for political stability as the war rages in the Middle East.
