The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article titled "A big celebration for the citizens of Kosovo at the end of this year, visa liberalization is coming."
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it turns out that the title and the photo do not correspond to the content. The claim made in the title of this article is, in fact, based only on an opinion of the analyst, Blerim Burjani, and not on an official position of any relevant institution on this issue.
Also, the photo placed in this article is not adequate, which does not make it clear that the claim is raised by a relevant person, in this case the columnist Burjani. The photo is an illustration and not a photo of the person presenting the claim in question.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
Written by: ANALYST-Blerim Burjani
By the end of this year, there is a real chance that visa liberalization will happen. Kosovars deserved liberalization much earlier, but this did not happen until now due to bureaucracy and political prejudices about Kosovo.
– The truth is that there are many people unhappy in Kosovo because of 22 years of politics that are harmful to the citizens of Kosovo. Most are disappointed with politics in Kosovo. Illiterate politicians for 22 years have brought Kosovo to where it is full of dissatisfaction, full of tension and need.

To further clarify the fact that there is still no exact date for visa liberalization for Kosovo, hibrid.info has found an interview with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Donika Gërvalla, who on July 1st on the show "DPT te Fidani" on T7 said that no one knows the exact date when visas for Kosovo citizens will be liberalized.
"Today, no one, neither our institutions nor I as Foreign Minister, nor any EU representative, can say the exact date when there can be free movement. Today, no one knows when the final step will be and when visas for Kosovo citizens will be lifted.", said Gërvalla.
