KOSOVO’S highest court has ruled that a new general election must take place after the cabinet of Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti was passed by the vote of an MP who had been convicted of a crime.
The constitutional court ruled that the vote of Etem Arifi of the minority Ashkali Party for Integration that ratified the cabinet was invalid, meaning “the government has not taken the majority of votes of the MPs.”
It had given the government 61 votes in the 120-seat chamber.
