Tear Gas in Parliament – level 1

26-03-2018 15:00

In 2008, Kosovo becomes a country. It wants to be in the EU.

This news is from the Kosovan parliament. There is a meeting and voting on a deal. The deal is about the border with Montenegro. This deal can help Kosovo be part of the EU free travel zone.

The opposition does not want this deal. People throw tear gas into the parliament.

Difficult words: border (the line between two countries), EU free travel zone (a law so that European Union people can travel easily between countries), opposition (the group that does not agree with you), tear gas (gas which hurts your eyes; police use it against protesters).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
