A parliamentary session in Kosovo was disrupted after opposition MP Time Kadrijaj threw eggs towards acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a heated exchange between lawmakers.
Video of the incident has spread rapidly on social media, showing Kadrijaj throwing eggs in Kurti’s direction inside the parliamentary chamber. The unusual confrontation briefly interrupted proceedings as security officials moved to prevent the situation from escalating.
Kadrijaj, an opposition lawmaker, was protesting against Kurti during the session when the incident occurred. The confrontation came amid growing political tensions in Kosovo, where lawmakers have been struggling to resolve a prolonged political deadlock.
The footage shows lawmakers reacting as the eggs were thrown, while security personnel intervened inside the chamber. The session was subsequently disrupted as officials dealt with the incident.
The confrontation has attracted widespread attention online, with the video being shared across social media platforms and prompting strong reactions from both supporters and critics of the politicians involved.
The incident comes at a particularly difficult time for Kosovo’s political institutions. The country has been facing uncertainty over the formation of a government following elections in which no political group secured enough support to govern alone.
Kurti’s Vetëvendosje party emerged as the largest political force but has faced difficulties in securing the support needed to form a government. The resulting political stalemate has affected the functioning of parliament and contributed to increasingly tense exchanges between the governing and opposition camps.
The egg-throwing incident has become a striking symbol of the tensions inside the country’s parliament. Although the confrontation did not result in any serious reported injuries, it forced lawmakers to pause proceedings and highlighted the increasingly hostile atmosphere surrounding the political dispute.
Opposition lawmakers have continued to criticise Kurti and his government over their handling of the country’s political situation, while Kurti and his supporters have defended their position and called for political agreements to resolve the impasse.
As Kosovo’s political parties attempt to find a way forward, the incident has added another dramatic moment to an already tense period in the country’s politics.
The parliamentary disruption is likely to fuel further debate about political conduct and the standards expected from elected representatives, while lawmakers remain under pressure to overcome their differences and restore the normal functioning of Kosovo’s institutions.
