A shocking clip has just gone viral in Kosovo’s Parliament. During a heated debate after the snap election in June, an opposition MP from the Alliance Party launched a barrage of eggs at Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

Kurti had just announced he needed more time to negotiate with other parties before proposing a candidate for speaker, sparking what many saw as a simmering political crisis. The egg‑throwing quickly turned the chamber into chaos, with lawmakers scrambling to shield themselves or step away.

The footage, streamed live from Parliament’s plenary, is now the highlight of news feeds across Europe and beyond. For a quick 60‑second recap, head over to SnapScope and watch the full clip with commentary and interactive polls:
