An image with portraits of singers Goran Bregović and Shemsi Krasniqi - Shemi has been published, with the caption claiming that Shemi has said "Goran Bregović has respect for the Albanian nation, he should be called from Kosovo and sing in the center of Pristina."
The image was published yesterday (June 18) by the media outlet "kosova-sot.info" on Facebook and a link to the article published on the website was also attached (see here).
But what is the truth?
The statement of the soloist of the group "Ilirët" is true, but the same was made public in 2021, which is not disclosed in the post of "kosova-sot.info".

This publication has received 62 comments as of the time of writing.
Hibrid.info has confirmed, based on several video materials taken from "Debat Plus" of "RTV Dukagjini", that the alleged statements are correct (see here and here).
But, hibrid.info has found that these public statements by Shemi date back to August 2021, when the latter was invited to this show to discuss the singer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Goran Bregović, who was expected to perform in Korça that year.
Shemi's words about Bregović have also been confirmed by several articles published in 2021, by several Albanian-language media (see here and here).
Analyze:
Singer Shemsi Krasniqi's statement about the singer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Goran Bregović, is true.
However, the publication of this claim does not clarify that the statement came in 2021, which means that the report was based on an outdated statement.
Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this content as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
“Clickbait” is considered to be informational content whose title is general and does not disclose the location of the event, context and relevance. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the audience with sensational headlines with misleading consequences, which do not accurately clarify the content of the article. “Clickbait” headlines are mainly made to attract readability in the case of media publications and/or to earn from clicks in the case of commercial publications.
