What Happened
An opposition member of the Kosovo parliament, identified as Time Kadrijaj of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, threw eggs at acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a parliamentary session. The incident took place while Kurti was seated in the front row, prompting an immediate suspension of the legislative proceedings.
The confrontation occurred amid ongoing political negotiations following the June elections. Kurti's party, Vetevendosje, remains the largest party in the 120-member parliament but lacks the majority required to form a government independently. Tensions escalated as the government requested additional time to elect a president and sought further consultations with opposition parties to resolve the political impasse.
