The TikTok account named "lajme24h" published a video on February 16 claiming that LDK MP Driton Selmanaj said that "ALBIN KURTI KNOWS BETTER TO SPEAK SERBIAN THAN ALBANIAN."
The video is excerpted from Selmanaj's interview given on February 14 for the A23 show, on the "ATV" television channel.
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that Selmanaj in this interview does not say that Kurti speaks Serbian better than Albanian.
Link to the video material published on TikTok by the "lajme24h" account:
This video material published by this account has collected hundreds of comments (222), and has been viewed nearly 14 thousand times.
The claim that Selmanaj said that Kurti speaks better Serbian than Albanian is not proven in the video.
On the A23 show on February 14 on ATV at minute 20, Selmanaj says: ""Lately I've been seeing (Albin Kurti) more often in Serbian-language television studios giving interviews than in Albanian. I don't know what all this love for this language and this approach is." (here)
So, as can be understood from the material of this show, published on YouTube, Selmanaj did not say that Kurti speaks better Serbian than Albanian, but he states that "Kurti is giving more interviews in Serbian than Albanian."
