Albanian parliament held a special meeting late Sunday in order to start an investigation into an opposition protest that the governing Democratic Party has called an attempted coup.

Albanian parliament held a special meeting late Sunday in order to start an investigation into an opposition protest that the governing Democratic Party has called an attempted coup.

An 11-member commission was formed to investigate Friday events when three people were killed and more than 150 hurt in clashes with police during the protest against the government, the Associated Press reported.

Only the ruling party’s MPs attended the session, with opposition parties boycotting it.

“I invite you to create the investigative parliamentary commission to probe this putsch,” Berisha said before parliament voted 73-0 to create the commission, which will carry out its work for three months.

Berisha said the peaceful protest against violence, announced for Wednesday, will be held in Saturday, after the meeting he had with Western ambassadors, who expressed reservation about the demonstration.

Albanian opposition leader Edi Rama refused accusation he has organized a putsch to oust the government and called people to come to the new peaceful protest on Friday.

Rama dismissed the parliament's decision to create a commission, saying it is “of no importance to comment on such a banality,” the AP reported.
