The information portal "sot.com.al" published on September 16 the article titled "What is happening? 21 people are accused of cocaine smuggling, among them the mayor and police officers."
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title does not clarify which municipality's mayor it is referring to.
The news is clarified only in the content, more precisely in the headline of the news, when it is stated that, "After a months-long investigation, the Special Prosecution Office for Organized Crime of Montenegro filed indictments against 21 people, including senior police and operational officers, the mayor of Budva, and suspected leaders and members of Montenegrin drug clans."
Based on the "Contact" section on the website of this information portal, where its address appears to be in Tirana (here), this makes the general title leave room for misinformation among readers that it is about a journalist from an Albanian-speaking country.

Analyze:
The information portal "sot.com.al" has published an article regarding the arrest of the mayor of Budva, but the title does not clarify who it is about.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
