"Meanwhile" is being used Between Two Complete Thoughts.
It’s functioning as a conjunctive adverb connecting the two independent clauses. Note the punctuation: a semicolon before it and a comma after it — the correct pattern for a THAMO word joining two complete thoughts.
(If it were Interrupting One Complete Thought it would appear inside one clause with commas on both sides: e.g., "Luka and I are playing chess; our friends, meanwhile, are getting bored.")
