President Vjosa Osmani on Friday dissolved parliament and called snap elections, a day after lawmakers failed to elect a new head of state within the constitutional deadline.
The 120-seat parliament had until midnight on Thursday to choose a president, but Prime Minister Albin Kurti's ruling Vetevendosje party was unable to secure the required quorum or rally opposition lawmakers behind its nominee, Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca.
