The plenary session of the Albanian Parliament ended amid heightened tensions after opposition MPs objected to the procedure followed for reviewing the defense cooperation agreement with the United States of America.

Parliament Speaker Niko Peleshi decided that the draft agreement would be reviewed under an expedited procedure, announcing that the session would resume at 15:00 after the document was first discussed by the parliamentary committees.

The decision was opposed by Democratic Party MPs, who blocked the Parliament’s rostrum, preventing proceedings from continuing as normal.

Due to the tensions and clashes in the chamber, the presiding officer decided to close the session.
