In states with a parliamentary system - republics (Albania, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Moldova and Turkey as well as monarchies (Belgium, Spain and Sweden) - the decision to dissolve parliament is an essential element of a so-called “rationalised” parliamentary system. Being a stabilising factor in the exercise of powers, the Head of State can dissolve parliament in order to solve the political crisis that rises when no government obtains a majority in parliament, when a motion of no-confidence has been adopted or when the budget has been rejected. In semi-presidential states – such as Armenia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine - with a government that both has to be appointed/proposed by the elected president, and has to be supported by a majority in parliament, the dissolution of parliament can be a means to solve a conflict on the formation of the government, the governmental program and/or the governmental policies (vote of no-confidence, rejection of the budget).
