Doubtful portals with Albanian language content "On27.net" and "A.news29media.com" have published an article claiming that in this decade the population of Kosovo will decrease by 50%.
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that this claim in the title is false, as it does not match the content.
The content contains data from the UN report for 2022 "World Population Outlook", which makes it clear that by the end of this century, Latvia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lithuania, Kosovo, Armenia, North Macedonia and Poland are expected to lose between 40% and 50% of their population.
So, it is not true that Kosovo's population will decrease by 50% during this decade, as falsely claimed in the article's title.
