Kosovo’s opposition on Wednesday used tear gas to disrupt a parliament vote on a border demarcation deal with Montenegro.

Lawmakers had to be evacuated from the Assembly building after the Self-Determination Movement party used tear gas in the hall where the vote was due to start Wednesday.

The 120-seat parliament was expected to vote with two-thirds to ratify the 2015 deal, set as a precondition by the European Union for Kosovo’s citizens to freely travel within its visa-free travel zone known as Schengen.
