Kurti: I am ready to endure eggs if this brings the parties to the dialogue table

Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti responded at a press conference following the suspension of the constitutive session.

The session was suspended after Kurti failed to propose a name for the post of speaker of parliament. Following this development, Alliance MP Time Kadrijaj threw eggs in Kurti’s direction, escalating tensions.

Kurti said that responsibility for forming the government lies with the winning party, LVV, while the election of a consensual president is a matter that concerns all parties.

Commenting on the incident in parliament and the throwing of eggs at him, he said he was ready to pay this price if it enabled the parties to meet and engage in dialogue.

“If being pelted with eggs, and having the prime minister’s jacket and trousers hit by eggs thrown by an MP, is the price I have to pay in order for them to sit down, talk and engage in dialogue with one another, I am happy to pay that price. Let them just come to the meeting; let us just sit down and talk. I am not complaining that they are throwing eggs at me, but I am complaining that they do not want to meet,” Kurti said.
