The Democratic Party and the Socialist Party have come together as rarely before, voting with 114 votes in favor and 1 abstention on the joint draft resolution on integration into the European Union. The only MP who abstained was Bujar Leskaj.
We recall that it was previously reported that the Democrats and Socialists agreed on the final draft of the resolution, which was sent to the Assembly this morning. It was reviewed during today's plenary session, where deputies from both parties called on each other to vote for this draft resolution.
