BELGRADE (Reuters) - Serbia's coalition government asked President Tomislav Nikolic on Tuesday to dissolve parliament and call an early election, after the centre-right SNS party called at the weekend for a stronger mandate to accelerate economic reforms.

Nikolic is expected to call the parliamentary election for mid-March, just under two years since Serbs last voted.
