The dubious Albanian-language portal "readkoala.com" has published an article claiming that Ramush Haradinaj has apologized for not liberalizing visas, and allegedly said that he lied about this issue.
Hibrid.info, after fact-checking, has confirmed that this article contains a fabricated title and content, which, among other things, have no contextual consistency.
After research conducted by hibrid.info through search engines and social networks, no such or similar statement was found made by former Prime Minister and AAK leader, Ramush Haradinaj.
So, this article is completely fabricated, and is intended to trick readers into clicking on it.
Text of the article published on "readkoala.com":
No visas until 2020, at least that's what was said in America, this is happening because the country's politicians are failing to meet the visa criteria.
Demarcation is emerging as the main criterion for visa liberalization, and there is still no choice from Kosovo politics on this.
Prime Minister Haradinaj will apparently soon admit that there will be no visas until 2022.
The Prime Minister met with Trump's top adviser, and he pleaded with Haradinaj to cross the demarcation line this month. Below is Haradinaj's full statement.

Analyze:
This article contains a fabricated title and content, which has not been found published in any credible media. Therefore, such news is intended to misinform readers, and push them to click on the article.
After fact-checking analysis based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article 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 considered 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.
