Shocking moment Kosovo politician throws EGGS at country’s acting prime minister as gov chamber plunged into chaos

THIS is the shocking moment a politician lobs eggs at her country’s acting prime minister, plunging parliament into chaos. The government chamber erupted into the one-sided food fight after interim PM Albin Kurti failed to announce a new president. A furious Time Kadrijaj flings her first egg Credit: Reuters Fellow politicians and security guards tried to halt the carnage Credit: Reuters Unbelievable footage shows opposition MP Time Kadrijaj reach into her handbag and hurl at least five eggs at Kurti. Suited men swarmed around her but she ignored them and fired off two more eggs in quick succession before being bundled out by security. Sign up for The Sun newsletter Thank you! Elections had been held on June 7 – but there was no common consensus over who should be the next leader of the country. Kosovo has already been gridlocked for much of last year after no party secured a majority in parliament. Frustrations finally boiled over when Kurti begged parliament for an extension on appointing a new president. He said: “Consultations are continuing and we have not yet reached an agreement [on the president]. Therefore, I am asking for additional time to avoid new elections.” The announcement was too much for Time Kadrijaj – who promptly reached into her bag and began pelting the acting PM. She appeared to have come prepared for the food-based rampage, even popping out from behind fellow MPs to throw the raw goods.

But an unrepentant Kadrijaj posted a clip of the egg-based chaos to social media – where it quickly went viral. Tensions had been brewing for some time as the acting PM tried to reach 61 votes – the critical number needed to elect a new president. His party – which roughly translates as ‘self-determination’ – won 53 seats. The Democratic League of Kosovo secured 18 seats, while the opposition – Kosovo Democratic Party – secured 22. Kurti has been scrambling to form a coalition which will tip his majority party into power – but so far, he has had little success. New elections will be triggered if Kurti is unable to form a coalition. Under Kosovan rules, a parliament must be formed within 30 days after an election. The deadline passed last month – leaving politicians scratching their heads about what happens next. Comment now
