Kosovo politician hurls eggs at acting prime minister Kurti
Developed over time first seen 3 months ago
A politician in Kosovo threw eggs at acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti amid ongoing efforts to form a new government, which have remained deadlocked for months. The incident reflects the mounting frustration and political tension surrounding Kosovo's prolonged failure to establish a functioning administration since the last election.
Kurti's Vetëvendosje party won the most votes in the June election but fell short of an outright parliamentary majority, leaving the country without a settled government for an extended period. Kosovo has repeatedly struggled to form stable governments since 2025, complicating its efforts to pursue closer integration with the EU and NATO.

Explained simply
Kosovo is a partly recognised country in the western Balkans that declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Its politics are shaped by relations with Serbia, efforts to strengthen international recognition, and hopes of closer ties with the European Union and NATO.
Albin Kurti leads Vetëvendosje, a party that has been one of Kosovo’s main political forces in recent years. Under Kosovo’s parliamentary system, the largest party must still secure enough support from other MPs to form a government, and failure to do so can leave an acting administration with limited room to make major decisions.
