Kosovo lawmakers voted to dissolve parliament today, paving the way for a parliamentary election after Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj resigned last month. A total of 89 deputies voted to dissolve the 120-seat parliament. An election will take place within 45 days. Haradinaj resigned after being summoned for questioning by the country's war crimes prosecutor over his role in the 1998-99 insurgency against Serbian forces when he was a commander of the guerilla Kosovo Liberation Army. He denies any wrongdoing and said he is ready to face any accusations.<br />''<br />''Kosovo, with a 90 percent ethnic Albanian majority, declared independence from Serbia in 2008, nearly 10 years after NATO bombing drove Serb forces out of the country. It has been recognized by more than 110 states but not by five EU member states, Serbia and Russia.<br />''<br />''<br />
