MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Croatian Parliament adopted a decision to dissolute, following the last week's no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Tihomir Oreskovic, which will come into affect on July 15, the local media reported Monday.
The early parliamentary elections are likely be held in September, the Nacional reported.
According to the media, the request for dissolution was made by 91 representatives in 8 separate notions. The motion for dissolution received 137 votes in favor, 2 votes against, and 1 abstentions.
Oreskovic was suggested for the position after the main parties winning the election could not agree on a candidate in January. In early June, Oreskovic urged First Deputy Prime Minister and leader of the biggest coalition partner Tomislav Karamarko to resign as being caught up in the oil money scandal.
Instead of resigning, Karamarko initiated a no-confidence vote against Oreskovic, which received a parliamentary majority on Thursday.
