Serb party quits the Kosovo government

The Kosovo Serb minority party says it will withdraw from the Kosovo government after the dramatic arrest of a senior Serb politician. The move could spell the end of Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj’s term in office.

Kosovo Serb leader Goran Rakic made the announcement Tuesday following a meeting with Serbian President Aleksander Vucic in Belgrade.

“The Serb List will withdraw from the government and Kosovar institutions,” Rakic told journalists at a press conference.
