Egg Throwing Sparks Chaos in Kosovo's Parliament

During a late‑afternoon session in Kosovo’s Parliament on Saturday, Time Kadrijaj – an opposition MP from the Alliance party – hurled at least four eggs at Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti. The act followed Kurti’s statement that he needed more time to hold talks with other parties before selecting a speaker candidate after the June snap election.

The egg barrage was quickly halted by the room’s lawmakers and police officers, who ushered Kadrijaj away and secured the surrounding area. No one was injured, but the incident sparked a wave of memes and social‑media commentary, with many questioning the decorum standards for elected officials.

The episode highlights the tense political situation in Kosovo, where the acting government is still trying to consolidate support after a surprise election. Critics say the egg‑throwing shows a downward spiral of unparliamentary conduct, while supporters of Kadrijaj argue he was making a bold statement against the current administration’s perceived indecisiveness.
