Thursday's hearing started with tension.
The cause was initially brought to account by Democrat deputy leader Edi Paloka.
We were searched when we entered the House. We are deputies, we are neither terrorists nor thieves. You can't treat the MP as a rag,” said Palika.
And the Speaker of the Parliament, Gramoz Ruci, said he would verify the case.
“I just got word on this case. I'll verify”.
However, tensions intensified when the speaker appeared head of the Democrat parliamentary group, Edmond Spaho. He started talking about Nezar Seitaj's extradition.
The Speaker of the Parliament, Gramoz Ruci, asked him to stick to the agenda and cut off his word. The opposition blocked the speaker, and Ruci interrupted the session. /Mapo/
