A member of the Democratic Party of Kosovo approached Prime Minister Albin Kurti while he was speaking and threw water at him, triggering the fighting
Prime Minister Albin Kurti begins to address the Kosovo parliament, seemingly unaware that his opponents have placed a depiction of him as Pinocchio on the lectern, July 13, 2023.Kurti has said he was applying law and order in northern Kosovo with the deployment of police and new ethnic Albanian mayors. The U.S. and the EU had urged him to keep the mayors in different locations away from the north until the situation is resolved.
Kosovo’s parliament sessions have often been disrupted. When Kurti’s Self-Determination Movement party was in the opposition, its lawmakers used tear gas and other violent acts to disrupt sessions about a border deal with Montenegro and an association for the ethnic Serb-dominated areas. Serbia had heightened army combat readiness and threatened a military intervention in response to tensions in the north, which borders Serbia. Belgrade pulled out of Kosovo in 1999 after NATO bombed the country to stop the onslaught against ethnic Albanian separatists.
