Slovenian President Borut Pahor dissolved parliament and scheduled an early election for July 13, pushing for a quick formation of a new government after Prime Minister Alenka Bratusek quit last month.

Pahor, speaking at a press conference in the capital Ljubljana, disbanded the 90-member assembly after parliamentary speaker Janko Veber informed him that no candidate for the premier’s post was proposed in the last stage of the process that started with the resignation of Bratusek on May 5. Regular elections were set for the second half of 2015.
