The dubious portal "thedailybarta24.com" has published an article titled "Vetëvendosje: Welcome Vjosa Osmani, We welcome you!", alluding to an invitation from the Vetëvendosje Movement for the Speaker of Parliament, Vjosa Osmani, to join this party.
Upon clicking on the full text posted in this article, it is clearly seen that the content presents Vjosa Osmani's announcement of her departure from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), which does not correspond to what is stated in the title.
This article was written during the week we are leaving behind when the former member of the LDK leadership announced to the media that she was leaving the party, as a result of political disagreements with some of the leaders.
Original article from thedailybarta24.com:
T: Vetevendosje: Welcome Vjosa Osmani, we welcome you!
Vjosa Osmani's departure from the Democratic League of Kosovo is sending her towards strengthening cooperation with the leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti.
This was also stated by the Speaker of the Kosovo Assembly herself, confirming that she is in contact with Kurti.
"We are in contact and discussing various topics of cooperation, we will inform you about how this cooperation will be concreted in the future when it is concreted," Osmani stated.
This statement by Osmani was also welcomed by the Vetëvendosje Movement, as well as by political experts.
VV MP: We shared the same opinions with Vjosa Osmani
Vetevendosje Movement MP Arta Bajralija, in a statement for "Bota Sot", stated that on many specific issues, VV shared the same opinion with Osmani.

As can be seen in this article, the content presents Osman's statement and several others from VV officials, but it is never stated that anyone from this party has welcomed her. Since the news of Osman's departure from LDK encourages greater readership, due to the chronology of previous events, many dubious media outlets (which have no address, imprint and are not registered as such) use this moment to fabricate false headlines to encourage more visits. As a result of the increase in the number of readers, they can also benefit materially.
