Brawl erupts in Kosovo parliament during prime minister's speech on defusing tensions with Serbs

A brawl erupted in the Kosovo parliament on Thursday after an opposition lawmaker threw water on Prime Minister Albin Kurti while he was speaking about government measures to defuse tensions with ethnic Serbs in the country's north.

The U.S. and European Union have pressured Kurti to help calm the situation after violence broke out in May after police-backed ethnic Albanian mayors took office following an election that the ethnic Serb majority in the area had widely boycotted.

Dozens of people were injured in clashes between local Serbs and Kosovo police and NATO-led peacekeepers, fueling fears of a conflict similar to the one in 1998-99 that killed more than 10,000 people.

Wish we had more of that in our Congress, instead of it being one big club.

Nothing more nauseating than to hear these assclown grifters refer to each other as, “my good friend across the aisle.”

Putin wants to give NATO something else to work on by stoking Serbs in the Balkans.

Sooner or later I suspect fists will finally fly live on CSpan.

It will be like Geraldo in the late 80s when the chairs started flying.
