Kosovo’s Parliament was suspended on Saturday after an unusual protest from an opposition MP left smashed eggs strewn around the chamber.
Time Kadrijaj, of the conservative Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) party, disrupted the session after growing angry at caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti and yelling: ‘Shame on you!’
The chaos ramped up a level when she reached into her handbag and began pulling out eggs.
As security rushed to stand in Kurti’s way, she lobbed at least four them while continuing to shout.
The incident came amid political upheaval in Europe’s newest democracy, where three elections have taken place in just over two years with a fourth possibly on the way.
Kurti said later that if being pelted with eggs is the price of dialogue, ‘I am happy to pay this price’.
He has good reason not to be too annoyed about the disruption.
His own left-wing Vetevendosje (VV) party was responsible for letting off tear gas in the parliament in 2018 and several times in 2015.
Caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti has been the focus of anger from opposition MPs
Those protests were over a pair of agreements with Serbia and Montenegro that had the aim of normalising relations.
At the time of the initial tear gas protests, the European Union issued a statement saying: ‘This kind of violent obstruction is neither acceptable nor will it solve any problem for the citizens of Kosovo.’
Now, he has found himself on the other side of demonstrations after his party won the last election with too few seats to elect a new president themselves.
The different sides have yet to agree on a candidate, and Kurti’s attempt to tell Parliament he needed more time was met with uproar.
