An opposition lawmaker in Kosovo released teargas in parliament on
Thursday Oct 15,2015, the second such incident in a week in protest at a European
Union-brokered accord with former master Serbia.
The opposition is angry over a deal to grant ethnic Serb areas of Kosovo greater local powers and the possibility of funding from Belgrade, saying it represents a threat to the independence Kosovo declared from Serbia with Western backing in 2008
A bloc of opposition parties says it will disrupt the work of parliament until the deal - and another demarcating Kosovo's border with Montenegro - are rescinded.
"There will be normality in this country until these two agreements are cancelled," Donika Kada Bujupi of the opposition Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) told reporters after triggering a teargas canister in the chamber as the speaker tried to open debate. MPs left the assembly.
