Speaker of Parliament Niko Peleshi said the session would be closed only during discussions on the bill, while the vote itself would be open.
This was opposed by Mundësia Party MP Agron Shehaj, who, together with Erald Kapri, was the only opposition lawmaker in the chamber.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party did not participate, having said earlier that the opposition supported the agreement but opposed the procedure.
