The parliament of Kosovo was thrown into chaos when an MP doused top lawmakers with water during an address by the prime minister this week, according to reports.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti was mid-speech on Thursday in Pristina when MP Mergim Lushtaku of the Democratic Party of Kosovo approached the podium and began spraying water on Kurti and other government ministers, sparking a brawl.
“Ructions started while Kurti was talking about the situation in the Serb-majority north, and was interrupted by opposition MPs who called him a ‘liar,’” Balkan Insight reports.
