The Story in Brief
Times of India reports that opposition MP Time Kadrijaj threw eggs at acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti during a session of Kosovo's parliament on Saturday. The house was suspended after the incident, which came as Kurti's Vetevendosje party struggled to form a coalition following the June 7 election. Kurti, whose party won 53 of 120 seats, had asked for more time to negotiate a new president. The constitutional deadline to form parliament has expired, raising the possibility of fresh elections.
Kadrijaj, from the opposition Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, shouted 'Shame on you!' as she threw the eggs. Kurti appeared unfazed and said he was happy to pay the price for continuing political dialogue. The crisis has deepened after three elections in less than two years, with rival lawmakers threatening legal action over Kurti's request for more time.
The Indian Opinion
The egg-throwing is a vivid symptom of Kosovo's political deadlock, but it should not overshadow the core problem: the inability to form a government after three elections in two years. While some blame Kurti's inflexibility, the opposition's theatrics also undermine dialogue. The real test will be whether the constitutional deadline for electing a president is met, or if Kosovo heads to yet another election.
