A post published in the Facebook group "Lajmi Fundit", from the profile "Kosova Sod", claims that former Kosovo President, Hashim Thaçi, has declared that he will soon return to Kosovo and oust Prime Minister Albin Kurti from power.
The image published with the post reads: "NEWS THAT SHOCKS THE WHOLE OF KOSOVO!", while it is claimed that Hashim Thaçi, in a video, said: "I will come to Kosovo very soon and I will overthrow Albin Kurti and his team."
What is known about this post?
As of this writing, this comment has received 73 likes, 46 comments, and 5 shares. However, there is no evidence that Hashim Thaçi made this statement.
The post does not provide a credible source for the statement, and the video purporting to prove it does not match the alleged content.
LINKS placed in the post leads to a video completely unrelated to Hashim Thaçi. The YouTube address opens a video with the title “First Steps Song for Babies | Baby Walking Song | Toddler Learning Songs | Nursery Rhymes”, i.e. content for children, and not a political video or statement by Hashim Thaçi.
Profile "Kosovo Sod", who made this post, was created on Facebook on August 17, 2026, while profile data shows that it was recently updated. While the Facebook group named "Latest news" is a public group with 5400 followers.
The discrepancy between the link and the claim is particularly significant. Instead of providing the original video that allegedly contains the statement, the user is provided with a link that leads to completely different material. This can be described as “deceptive linking”, or deceptive use of links, where a URL is presented as evidence for a claim, even though its destination does not support that claim.
Analyze:
There is no evidence that Hashim Thaçi has declared that he will return to Kosovo "very soon" and that he will "overthrow Albin Kurti."
Furthermore, the link placed as "evidence" in the post leads to a children's video and is unrelated to the claim.
Based on the working methodology of hibrid.info, the claim is assessed as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The “Fake News” rating is given to informational content that is entirely fabricated or that contains factually incorrect claims or information. Content that is rated as fake news can be defined as having been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
