OSLO, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- Icelandic Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson has announced the end of the governing coalition and called for parliamentary elections, local media reported on Sunday.
 
During a press conference, Bjarni said elections will be held on Nov. 30, pending President Halla Tomasdottir's approval to dissolve parliament.
 
Bjarni cited growing disagreements within the coalition, particularly on asylum policy and energy efficiency, as reasons for the split. He has informed the other coalition leaders of his decision. A meeting with the President is scheduled for tomorrow.
