The dubious portal "lajmet.trendliveg24.com" has published an article claiming that drugs called "Albinicillin" with the portrait of Kosovo's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, which treat headaches and depression, have gone on sale in Kosovo.
Hibrid.info has verified the facts in this article, where it has been confirmed that the title of the article is fabricated and does not match the content, as the text contains an old news item published in May of this year and relates to the lack of a law that determines the prices of medicines in Kosovo.
Also, the photo is satirical and the same has been attempted to be presented as real by the dubious portal "lajmet.trendliveg24.com".

Analyze:
The dubious portal "lajmet.trendliveg24.com" has published an article with satirical photographs claiming that drugs called "Albinicillin" with the portrait of the Prime Minister of Kosovo have gone on sale in Kosovo.
The satirical photo published on February 15, 2021 by the Facebook page "Gazeta Satirike" was attempted to be presented as a real event by the dubious portal "lajmet.trendliveg24.com".
After fact-checking analysis conducted by hibrid.info, this article is rated as "satire".
Reasoning:
The “Satire” rating includes content that uses premeditated news that uses satire to portray reality. This is also a way of reporting that is not problematic, if the media manages to argue that it is satirical content.
The purpose of including this assessment in the methodology is to indicate this type of content in situations where it can be claimed to be a genuine media report and when it becomes potentially harmful in the event of further transmission without being able to clearly explain that it is a satirical text. So in such cases, if a text fails to clarify that it has satirical content, it may be understood as genuine and, as a result, may create a wrong opinion in the audience. However, the media that publishes this type of content cannot be on one of the negative lists solely because of the publication of this type of content.
