Excerpt from the article
"Or did Ali Ahmeti weave the new governing coalition in Kosovo?"
Today, it seems that the Leader of the Democratic Union for Integration Ali Ahmeti, together with the Secretary General of the DUI Faton Ahmeti, have had several meetings in Pristina with the leaders of the opposition parties, that of the PDK, LDK and AAK. In your opinion, is Ali Ahmeti weaving the new government coalition in Kosovo?
The truth?
After research conducted by hibrid.info, it was confirmed that the footage from Ahmeti's meetings with opposition parties in Kosovo is not current.
The photographs presented in this article were taken during meetings that Ahmeti held with opposition parties in Kosovo on December 17, 2024.
On December 17, the DUI leader met with the leader of AAK, Ramush Haradinaj, the leader of LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, and Memli Krasniqi of PDK. (see here, here and here)
During this visit to Kosovo, that day, Ahmeti was honored with the prestigious “Key to Prishtina” award, presented by the Mayor of Prishtina, Përparim Rama. (see here)
That Ahmeti did not have meetings on February 10 in Pristina with the aforementioned parties is also proven by the fact that there is no publication on the official Facebook pages of these political entities, nor of Ahmeti. (see here, here, here and here)
