The TikTok account named "lagraqsaqi" has published a video with the image of Arben Gashi, a member of the Kosovo Assembly from the LDK, and a caption as his statement.
The inscription claims that Gashi declared that he would vote for the Serbian List over the Vetëvendosje Movement.
Hibrid.info has researched and found no evidence proving that such a statement was made by MP Gashi.

Hibrid.info has also found the same alleged statement, published by two Facebook pages. (see here and here)
However, hibrid.info has researched using the "Google" search engine to find evidence that substantiates Arben Gashi's alleged statement from the page in question, but has not come across any. (see here)
Besides the fact that the alleged publication is not found in any credible media outlet, another fact that makes the claim untenable is the spelling errors in the caption on the image.
Original video caption:
"If I had the populist pen in my hand, I would have voted for the Serbian List rather than VV"
Analyze:
The TikTok account "lagraqsaqi" posted a video dated August 21.
The video footage shows the image of MP Arben Gashi with the caption claiming that he said he would rather vote for the Serbian List than the Vetëvendosje Movement.
But hibrid.info has researched and has not been able to find the alleged statement published by reliable sources.
Therefore, based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses the published video material as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The “Fake News” rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information. Content that is rated as fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
