Pellegrini calls on Matovic to resign, ready to initiate ouster attempt

Parliamentary Vice-chair Peter Pellegrini at a news conference on Friday called on Prime Minister Igor Matovic to keep his promise and resign from his post over his diploma thesis scandal. According to Pellegrini, "a thief and a liar cannot be allowed to hold the office of prime minister." Pellegrini said that if Matovic did not resign of his own volition, his group of MPs will start collecting signatures on Monday to convene a special parliamentary session with Matovic's ouster as the sole item on the agenda.
