The dubious portal "amoooor.com" has published an article titled "Merkel: Albin Kurti has my personal support for catching thieves and here's when visas will be liberalized...".
After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, it turns out that this article contains a false headline that does not match the text. Also, the news is old, dated March 23, 2020, which this dubious portal has tried to present as current.
It is true that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the leader of Vetëvendosje, Albin Kurti, had a telephone conversation in March last year, where they discussed close bilateral relations, the approximation of Kosovo's reforms with the European Union, as well as the situation in the region. Also, in that conversation, support in the fight against corruption and the battle against the Corona virus was also discussed.
So, Merkel has never mentioned any date for visa liberalization, as claimed in the article on the dubious portal "amoooor.com".
