Pristina: Montenegro deal passed amid tear gas incidents
Seven members of the Assembly from this party have been arrested, while six have been removed from its further work.The demarcation agreement was signed two years ago in Vienna, and Wednesday's session to ratify it came after three failed attempts.
The use of tear gas in the Assembly was condemned by Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, representatives of embassies in Pristina, and EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn.
"I strongly condemn the use of tear gas, such behavior has no place in a democracy. On this important day, Kosovo leaders must assume their responsibilities and vote the demarcation agreement," Hahn stated earlier in the day.
Their citizens can only benefit from this step with visa liberalization "on the horizon," the EU official wrote on Twitter.
