What's wrong with this claim?
From 'Hibrid's' research, there is no Washington Post report that Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has coordination with US President Joe Biden. (see here)
The website does not provide any references when it says that there is an internal American report that claims that “Kurti will win 70% in the upcoming February 9 elections in Kosovo.” Moreover, it does not provide any data that could substantiate this claim.
This site provides no evidence for this report which alludes to “Kurti will unite Kosovo with Albania.” From Hibrid's research, neither claim has been found published by credible or official sources.
Analyze
The claim that Kurti is in full coordination with Joe Biden, will win 70% of the vote in the upcoming elections, and will unite Kosovo with Albania turns out to be a false claim.
There is no Washington Post article with such allusions, as claimed.
