Amid tensions, clashes and the throwing of smoke flares by the opposition, the majority continues to pass a series of bills in Parliament.
The new law on the Bank of Albania was approved with 84 votes in favour, a qualified majority of 84 votes being required. Prime Minister Edi Rama was present at the vote and later left the hall, which was filled with smoke.
Meanwhile, Speaker of Parliament Niko Peleshi expelled opposition MPs Bledi Himçi, Ivi Kaso, Bledion Nallbati and Xhelal Mziu from the plenary session.
