"Trump SPEAKS about Kosovo/ Tomorrow with victory, there will be... plans on the table," is the title of the article published by the Albanian-language online medium.ntv.al".
This article was also published today (July 18) on the aforementioned media outlet's Facebook page.Ntv Television".
What's wrong with this title?
After fact-checking, hibrid.info has determined that the title is misleading. After clicking on the article link, it is noted that the title does not match the content.
The content of the article states that this is just a statement by Jovana Radosavljevic, executive director of the new social initiative in Serbia.
So, the article does not contain any statement made by the former president of the United States of America (USA), Donald Trump, about and about Kosovo.
Link to the article published on the online medium "ntv.al":
After research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info has confirmed that the article was taken from the medium “Euronews Albania”, for which Radosavljevic had given an interview. This article is titled “Expert: Here's what will happen between Kosovo and Serbia if Trump wins the US elections”. (see here)
So, the online medium "ntv.al" took the article from "Euronews Albania", which it then changed the title to. (see here)
What did Radosavljevic say?
"Of course, there will be two outcomes. If we have Trump's victory, maybe we can think about returning to the approach to dialogue that we had during his first term. This also means that we will have Richard Grenell in some kind of agreement with the Western Balkans. So, we can only think about the previous period when Trump was the president of the United States and Grenell actually pushed for the Washington agreement," Radosavljevic said, among other things.
Analyze:
The title of an article incorrectly claims that former US President Donald Trump has spoken about Kosovo.
The article includes an interview with the executive director of the new social initiative in Serbia, Jovana Radosavljevic, who expressed her opinion that "if we have Trump's victory, maybe we can think about returning to the approach to dialogue that we had during his first term."
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info evaluates the article published by "ntv.al" as "Clickbait".
