Kosovo’s parliament suspended its session on Aug. 8 after an opposition lawmaker threw eggs at acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a heated debate over government formation. Time Kadrijaj, a member of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), hurled at least four eggs toward Kurti while shouting, “Shame on you!” in Albanian, according to multiple reports .

Security personnel and fellow lawmakers intervened to shield Kurti, and the live broadcast was cut as chaos erupted in the chamber. Kurti later downplayed the incident, stating, “If the price of dialogue is being pelted with eggs, I am happy to pay it” .

The confrontation followed Kurti’s request for additional time to negotiate with opposition parties on forming a new government and electing a president. His Vetëvendosje party, which won the most seats in the June 7 snap election, lacks the two-thirds majority required to elect a president, forcing prolonged talks .

Kosovo has held three general elections in less than two years, with successive parliaments collapsing amid deep political divisions. The current deadlock stems from the failure to elect a president by the Aug. 7 constitutional deadline, leaving Kurti’s government in a caretaker role .

Opposition lawmakers criticized Kurti’s handling of the crisis. Arian Tahiri of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) accused Kurti of abusing institutions for 18 months, while Enver Hoxhaj, also of PDK, called the session a “session of shame” and urged citizens to condemn the stalemate .

The session was adjourned after the egg-throwing incident, with acting Assembly Chairman Avni Dehari approving Kurti’s request for more time to continue negotiations . Vetëvendosje won 48 seats in the June election, short of the 61 needed for a majority, and opposition parties have so far refused to join a government led by Kurti .
