Lawmakers from opposition parties, primarily from the main opposition Democratic Party of Albania (PD), blocked the proceedings in parliament.
Speaker of the Albanian Parliament Lindita Nikolla, in her opening remarks at the session, described the events as a "shame for the Albanian parliament".
"PROTESTS WILL CONTINUE"
Despite the tension in the assembly, the MPs approved several draft laws, after which Speaker Nikolla adjourned the session.
Opposition MPs had previously disrupted the start of sessions by occupying the area reserved for ministers and parliamentary officials.
Stating that the protests would continue, the lawmakers argued that the parliament is not an institution of the government.
