Im repotting a house plant into a larger pot and im using some compost
from another dead house plant that I throw out 6 months ago. However
ive found little yellow eggs, the size of pepper corns in the compost
from the dead plant. They are semi-translucent and can be crushed quite
easily, where its quite gooey and small white particles are inside.
Im worried that i will have some kind of bug infestation in my apartment
if I use this soil. Does anyone know what this could be?

Controlled-release fertilizer nodules. No worries.

Do they sell "Osmocote" over there?

Yes, I'd agree, slow release fertilzer like 'Osmacote', so dont worry,
they are not any form of bug, most people think they are snails eggs.
