		</div><p>Opposition politicians angry at Kosovo’s recent deals with Serbia and Montenegro have set off tear gas canisters in parliament, forcing the suspension of the session.</p>
<p>Politicians left the chamber after witnesses said a tear gas canister was opened in the opposition seats, followed by one or two others.</p>
<p>It was the second week in a row that tear gas had been used in parliament in protests that began with the egging of prime minister Isa Mustafa last month.</p>
<p>The opposition, led by the Self-Determination party, said no more parliamentary sessions should be held and pledged to continue the protests.</p>
<p>The government denounced the use of tear gas as “an irresponsible behaviour not in line with any ethic, moral and practical democratic code”.</p>
<p>Parliament speaker Kadri Veseli urged the opposition to use parliament to express disagreements professionally and respect its rules and the law.</p>
<p>“Their behaviour so far is violating such a possibility and suffocating democracy,” he said at a news conference.</p>
<p>One of the EU-sponsored deals gives Kosovo’s Serb-majority areas greater powers, while the other covers border demarcation with Montenegro. The opposition wants the government to withdraw from the deals, saying they endanger Kosovo’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.</p>
<p>“Only backtracking from these deals will bring institutional and social normalcy in Kosovo,” the opposition said in a statement.</p>
<p>The governing coalition says the opposition wants to come to power through unconstitutional means.</p>
<p>Outside the building, about 100 opposition supporters rallied calmly.</p>
<p>Parliament decided on Wednesday that all politicians should be checked as they entered the chamber. Police said they would investigate how the tear gas canisters still made it in.</p>
<p>Fifteen police officers and a number of protesters were injured in clashes on Monday after Self-Determination Party leader Albin Kurti was detained for questioning.</p>
