Watch: Moment opposition MP throws eggs at Kosovo's acting PM

A Kosovo opposition MP threw eggs at the country's acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a parliamentary session. Time Kadrijaj, an MP from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, hurled at least four eggs towards Kurti, prompting lawmakers and police officers to intervene.

The incident occurred as Kurti's Vetevendosje party was in negotiations with opposition groups over the formation of new institutions following the June 7 parliamentary election. Kurti's party won 53 of parliament's 120 seats, but he remains short of the numbers needed to govern alone.

According to the Times of India, Kadrijaj shouted "Shame on you!" as she threw the eggs, and later shared footage of the incident on social media. Kurti appeared unfazed, saying that if having eggs thrown at him was the price of continuing political dialogue, "I am happy to pay this price." The parliamentary session was suspended after the confrontation.
