Former Prime Minister and former leader of the Democratic Party of Albania, Sali Berisha, has posted on his Facebook account a publication by the Austrian media outlet "Zeit im Bild", which presents images of the floods in Albania and Kosovo.
However, in his Facebook post, Berisha published a photo with an image from Kosovo, namely the destruction of a road in the municipality of Malisheva, claiming that such a thing had happened in Albania. Berisha used this image to raise accusations against the current Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama:
Austrian media publishes photos and mocks Edvin Hajduti's streets!
They are asphalted beyond any standard by laying asphalt and stepping on it, while the funds for the layers under the asphalt are stolen and shared with the authorities! This is a photo published in the Austrian media. Sb

The same photo was published by the Kosovo media a few days ago, referring to an incident that occurred in the municipality of Malisheva. The asphalt and structure of the road that had recently been paved was destroyed by flooding from heavy rain and snow.

This image, along with other images from Kosovo and Albania, were published by the Austrian media outlet "Zeit Im Bild", as part of a description that this media outlet had made of the flooding situation in these two countries.
Authentic post by the Austrian media outlet "Zeit im Bild" about the observations in Kosovo and Albania, translated into Albanian:
Floods: Albania and Kosovo are experiencing severe flooding. Snow and rain have been falling for days in the two Balkan countries. In Albania, the water damaged roads and bridges, and hundreds of people are being supplied with fresh drinking water by emergency services. In Kosovo, people had to be evacuated from their homes. Those affected complain of a lack of help: “Nobody cares,” says a man whose house was flooded.

Analyze:
Former Albanian political leader Sali Berisha appears to have used the wrong photo to accuse Prime Minister Edi Rama. So based on the facts, it turns out that Berisha built a claim on the comment of an inadequate photo. Given that Berisha continues to be an influential politician in Albania and beyond, hibrid.info has decided to treat his post, assessing it as “Unverified Content”.
Reasoning:
The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
