The article titled "Haziri: Let VV forget about power, there is no other way, we will form a coalition with PDK" was published by the dubious portal "kosovajournal.com".
After fact-checking analysis conducted by hibrid.info, it appears that this dubious portal has taken part of the text from an old news story, which it has published under the pretense of presenting as current and adding a fabricated title and content.
The news is old and was published on September 29, 2020, when Lutfi Haziri said that the LDK had set red lines with the PDK in the previous elections, so the statement was made in a different time context.
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it is noted that Haziri did not say that VV should forget about power and that LDK will form a coalition with PDK, as claimed in the title of the article published on "kosovajournal.com".
Text of the article published on "kosovajournal.com":
Haziri: Let VV forget about power, there is no other way, we will form a coalition with PDK
The vice president of the LDK, Lutf Haziri, said that the red line the LDK had set against the PDK in the past elections, respectively against Kadri Veseli, since he was the leader of the previous governing coalition.
"There shouldn't be red lines, even though we decided them ourselves as an internal debate and that's how it happened, so we had red lines for the PDK," said Haziri on RTK.
VV might win, but it certainly won't come to power again. The best alternative is to join forces with PDK.

Analyze:
The dubious portal “kosovajournal.com” has taken part of the text from an old news story and published it as current. Also, this article contains a fabricated title and part of the text. Hibrid.info categorizes this article as “fake news”, “misinformation” and “clickbait”.
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.
A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of information accuracy.
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
