Egg Hurling Turns Kosovo Parliament into Chaos
In a tense June session, Time Kadrijaj, an opposition MP from the Alliance party, knocked at least four eggs toward Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti. The act was a spontaneous response after Kurti requested additional time to negotiate a speaker candidate, citing post‑election negotiations still pending.
Mahrecile was swiftly knocked down by the MPs and police officers who had to act to regain control. The eggs flew across the parliamentary floor, rattling microphones and sparking an uproar. The incident underscored the volatility in Kosovo’s political landscape, where parties are still vying for authority and public trust.
