Serbia calls snap vote over EU, Kosovo dispute

Serbian President Boris Tadic has dissolved parliament and called early elections for May 11. The parliament's dismissal was requested by nationalist Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica's government, which said it was unable to overcome wrangling over Serbia's integration in the European Union and Kosovo independence. Kostunica announced Saturday that his Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) had failed to solve the dispute with its pro-European coalition partners from Tadic's Democratic Party (DS). Angered by most EU countries' decision to recognise Kosovo's independence, Kostunica, backed by the opposition ultra-nationalist Radical Party (SRS), vowed to stop Serbia's EU integration unless the bloc acknowledged Kosovo as a part of Serbia.
