Kosovo lawmakers approved a border demarcation deal with Montenegro, meeting a European Union condition needed to gain a visa-free regime for its citizens.
Lawmakers voted 80-11 to back the deal in Wednesday session that was disrupted by tear gas attacks from a nationalist opposition party. The approval of the agreement had been delayed for years as the opposition, which say the motion forces Kosovo to give up some territory, disrupted previous sessions on the matter.
