Serbia Political Tension

Serbia's president today dissolved Parliament and scheduled an early election for April 24 as the ruling conservatives try to cement power amid deep economic problems and tensions created by the transit of tens of thousands of migrants through the country.

A planned visit this week by Albania's prime minister to Serbia, the first in nearly 70 years, has been postponed for next month, authorities said on Sunday, after political tensions soared between the two Balkan rivals following a soccer brawl.
