A female MP in Kosovo threw eggs at the prime minister amid a political crisis

MP from the opposition party "Alliance for the Future of Kosovo" Time Kadriaj threw several eggs toward Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a parliamentary session. The incident occurred amid heated political debates in the country. This was reported by BILD, according to UNN.

Details

According to the publication, 61-year-old Time Kadriaj approached Prime Minister Albin Kurti and threw several eggs in his direction amid loud protests.

The incident occurred during a discussion on the formation of a new government. Following the June elections, Kurti once again asked for additional time the day before. Kosovo has been in a political crisis for several months. The parties have still not reached an agreement on who will become the next head of state.

In Kosovo, the president is not elected by a direct vote of the citizens but is appointed by parliament. In the spring, MPs failed to reach an agreement in time, so the country held new parliamentary elections in June. These were already the third elections in 16 months. The situation is also complicated by internal crises in a number of opposition parties.

Recall

In Kosovo, the third early elections in 18 months are underway to overcome the political crisis. This is necessary for joining the EU and receiving international assistance.
