Vetevendosje Movement MP Faton Topalli admitted today that it was his duty today to throw the teargas in the Assembly. “I threw two cans with teargas and if this situation continues, there might be more,” Topalli said, adding that he is not afraid to face the prosecution on this matter. “The betrayal of the country is the most serious criminal offense.
