In a public Facebook group called "Diaspora with PDK", an image showing the portrait of Prime Minister Albin Kurti was published (December 28).
The photograph was also accompanied by a caption claiming that Prime Minister Kurti had declared "We have doubts about the origin of the money that migrants are bringing to Kosovo.".
After research by hibrid.info, Kurti's alleged statement has not been proven to be true, and his real statements about immigrants have even been found.

Hibrid.info has investigated the claim on the social network Facebook (here) but also through the search engine, Google (here), but the statement as such has not been found published in any of the media.
Meanwhile, to prove that the claim is unfounded, hibrid.info has researched and brought several public statements by the country's prime minister on the diaspora, in which the contribution of the diaspora to our country is appreciated by Prime Minister Kurti (see here, here and here).
Analyze:
The claim that Kosovo's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, through a statement, has questioned the origin of migrants' money has not been substantiated.
After research by hibrid.info, no concrete sources were found that prove Prime Minister Kurti's alleged statement. His public statements were also found, which do not match the claim.
