On the "Context" show on ATV television, yesterday (Tuesday), Vetëvendosje Movement MP Arbër Rexhaj spoke about developments in the dialogue process between Kosovo and Serbia.
Rexhaj said that Prime Minister Albin Kurti is inviting various experts and figures related to the dialogue. He added that Deputy Prime Minister in charge of Dialogue and European Integration, Besnik Bislimi, has also extended an invitation to former Foreign Minister Skender Hyseni, who has responded to the invitation.
However, Rexhaj, as can be understood from his comment, did not say decisively that Hyseni is part of the dialogue, but that he was willing to provide information regarding the progress of the dialogue.
Arbër Rexhaj's statement on the show "Context", from minute – 1:00:25:
"Skender Hyseni was invited by Mr. Besnik Bislimi, meaning he mentioned the name with which we had the most disagreements because he had different political positions on the issue of dialogue. Of course we invite him, Kosovo belongs to everyone. He responded to the invitation, we both have to behave institutionally. He had an official duty at that time, he has to give us information and of course he has to answer to the institution of the Republic of Kosovo... We have a burden, he has to give us information, he had an official duty at that time and of course he has to answer to the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo."
However, the title of the article published by the portal of the same medium reads: "Skender Hyseni part of the dialogue in the "Kurti 2" Government."

Although the VV MP did not deny this ATV title, the Prime Minister's cabinet did.
Government Spokesperson, Përparim Kryeziu, has denied the claim made in this media outlet's article, saying that Skënder Hyseni is not and will not be part of the dialogue or any dialogue team.
"As stated by MP Arber Rexhaj, Mr. During the past month, Hyseni was invited not to be part of the dialogue but for a consultative meeting to discuss the progress and developments in the dialogue process during the time he was the state coordinator for the dialogue with Serbia. This was also made public by Mr. Enter a declaration of it. It is normal for the person who has been responsible for the dialogue for almost 9 months to be invited for a working meeting in the service of the new government's preparations for this process. However, Mr. "Hyseni is not and will not be part of the dialogue or any dialogue team," he asserted.

Analyze:
Yesterday (Tuesday) on the “Context” show on ATV television, Vetëvendosje MP Arbër Rexhaj spoke about the talks that are taking place in this Government. In his statement, Rexhaj did not say that Skender Hyseni is part of the dialogue with Serbia, as claimed in the title of the ATV article, but that he responded to the invitation to provide information, since he had an official function.
As can be understood from the fact check, ATV seems to have inadvertently taken Rexhaj's statement out of context, a claim denied by the Kosovo Government. For this reason, hibrid.info evaluates this ATV article as "Error".
Reasoning:
The "Error" rating is given to media reports in which the media editorial staff made a mistake by publishing incorrect information or broadcasting unverified news from another source, without the clear intention of misinforming the public.
