Overview
- A member of the opposition, Time Kadrijaj of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, threw several eggs toward Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a rowdy parliament debate on Saturday and was stopped by other MPs and security officers.
- Security personnel and lawmakers immediately intervened to shield Kurti and the session was interrupted while staff cleared the chamber and restored order.
- Footage of the incident spread quickly to international outlets including the BBC and Sky News, drawing wider attention to Kosovo’s political turmoil.
- The episode occurred as Kurti again asked for more time to form a government, but it did not change the core problem that the president must be elected by a two‑thirds parliamentary majority.
- Kosovo has held three parliaments in about 16 months and repeated boycotts and absences have kept the country in a prolonged stalemate that risks further polarization and damage to its international reputation.
