Austrian conservative Vice-Chancellor Wilhelm Molterer of the People's Party has called for early elections.
He accuses his Social Democrats coalition partners of having abandoned the government's common EU policy and says he can no longer effectively govern with them. Last month, Social Democrat Chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer announced that his party would submit all European treaties to a referendum. The decision drew criticism even from within his own party. Elections could be held as early as September if the Austrian parliament approves the motion in a vote next week.
