A Facebook page named "Supporters of Albin Kurti" published (March 24) an image of the director of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian government, Petar Petkovic, with the caption that presents his statement, "Albin Kurti banned me from entering Kosovo today as well."
But after verifying the facts by hibrid.info, it was found that this statement by Pektović was made in July 2022, when the latter was not allowed to enter Kosovo (here), which is not explained in the content published by the page in question.
Based on the comments in the publication, hibrid.info estimates that not clarifying the time context of the event that occurred may make readers think that the event is current.

After researching using search engines, hibrid.info found the same content published by the information portal "sinjali.com", on the Facebook page, on July 13, 2022 (see here).
Also, from further research by hibrid.info, articles were found from other media outlets that reported on the event in question, which prove that we are dealing with an event that occurred in 2022 (see here, here and here).
Analyze:
The news published on March 24th, reporting that the director of the Office for Kosovo in the Serbian government, Petar Petkovic, declared, "Albin Kurti banned me from entering Kosovo today as well," is old.
Hibrid.info has researched and found that the news was published on July 13, 2022, which is not clear from the "Albin Kurti Supporters" page.
Based on the fact that the news can be read as current by readers, hibrid.info assesses the content as "Disinformation".
Rating:
"Disinformation" is defined as information content that contains a "mix" of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful attributes, and that is created and/or distributed with the deliberate intention of causing harm. The motive behind the producers/distributors of disinformation content lies in achieving a political, financial, psychological or social goal.
