The Facebook page called "33shi.com" yesterday (July 12) published an article titled "Congratulations! Visa liberalization in June? Here is the exact date when visas for Kosovo will be liberalized."
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of this article is false, which does not correspond to the content.
Also, the news is old, published on June 10, and the content does not provide an exact date for visa liberalization.
The above-mentioned website took this article from the dubious portal with content in Albanian “bera.todaynews44.com”, which published it on June 26. (see here)

Hibrid.info has confirmed that this article is old and contains a false title after research conducted through online search engines.
As a result, it was found that the article was published on June 10 by online media in Kosovo. The news concerns German CDU MP Knut Abraham, who had spoken to Deutsche Welle (DW) about expectations from the visit of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to the Balkans. (see here)
Abraham had mentioned visa liberalization, saying that he hopes that the decision on visa liberalization will be made by the end of June under the French Presidency.
Excerpt from the German MP's interview with "DW":
What message should Mr. Scholz bring to Pristina?
Here too, it is important to regain the lost trust. For example, regarding visa liberalization: the conditions have been met. And when you have worked for years with the conditions and when you have achieved them and still have not achieved the goal, the result is disappointment. And that is why I very much hope that the decision on visa liberalization will be taken by the end of June under the French Presidency. An important country like Germany and an important personality like the Federal Chancellor can make an important contribution here.
So, in the content, apart from presenting the German MP's statement about his expectations, no details are provided that fulfill the claim made in the title about the date for visa liberalization for Kosovo.
