Kosovo PM Albin Kurti pelted with eggs amid political deadlock

Kosovo PM Albin Kurti pelted with eggs amid political deadlock

In a country called Kosovo, a big argument is happening inside the Parliament building.

Kosovo held an election in June, but the leaders still cannot agree on how to share power.

The acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, is in charge for now.

He told lawmakers he needed more time to talk with other political groups before choosing a new Speaker of Parliament.

One lawmaker, Time Kadrijaj, got very angry and threw eggs at him from her purse.

She shouted "Shame, shame!"

because she was upset about the delay.

Kurti did not seem worried and said he was happy to be hit by eggs if it kept the conversation going.

Kosovo cannot choose a new president because no political party has enough votes on its own.

The two biggest parties disagree about who should become president, and if they keep arguing, Kosovo may have to hold another election.
