The opposition had tabled a motion of no confidence, which was supported by 78 out of 120 MPs, including parliamentarians from the ruling coalition. The alliance of Mustafa's party LDK and the PDK of Parliament President Kadri Veseli recently failed to find a majority to enforce important legislative projects, such as the border ratification with Montenegro to raise the visa requirement in the EU.
