The Kosovo coalition government was overthrown on Wednesday by a vote of no confidence, the culmination of internal power struggles that deprive poor territory of leadership in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic.

The censure motion, introduced by the minority party in the coalition led by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, won 82 votes in parliament while 32 deputies voted against and one abstained.
