Kosovars headed to the polls Sunday to choose new members of the country's 120-seat parliament.
The election is the sixth parliamentary poll for Europe's youngest country since 2008 when it declared independence from Serbia.
It comes after the Constitutional Court ruled the parliamentary vote that saw Avdulah Hoti installed as prime minister was invalid because a lawmaker who made the new government's majority possible, Etem Arifi, was convicted of fraud.
The government elected by 61 deputies in parliament fell after the ruling of the court.
The court asked acting-President Vjosa Osmani to announce the date of early elections within 40 days.
