The suspicious Facebook page with the name of the wife of Kosovar businessman and politician Behgjet Pacolli - Maria Pacolli, turns out to be a fraudulent page.
Within this page, which bears the name "Maria_Pacolli-Cash" and a photograph of entrepreneur Pacolli's wife, a post was made claiming that a prize game was organized, which was found to be a fraud.
This page attempts to mislead followers, through the post – “Starting today I will vote for 500 lucky people on Facebook! Surprise them in the next 24 hours. Choose the first letters of your name and win a prize in your name. Do it now!! [A] €50,000, which then continues with the winner's prize reduction”.

Based on the analysis of the facts checked by hibrid.info, it turns out that this post with the claim of organizing a prize game is a hoax, since the attached photo turns out to be old and not authentic. After checking the facts, it is found that this photo corresponds to a completely different event – the meeting of the former Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports (MKRS), Kujtim Gashi and the Permanent Secretary, Veton Firzi, with Maria Pacolli (Behgjet Pacolli's wife), to sign a Memorandum of Cooperation with the "Ibrahim Kodra - Swiss Foundation" foundation, which is led by the latter. This meeting was held on April 13, 2018. Therefore, the entire claim made by this page about organizing a prize game turns out to be a hoax. Even the publication of the photo of this event refutes the claim of this fraudulent page about organizing a prize game.
"In the cabinet of the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Kujtim Gashi, a memorandum of cooperation was also signed with the "Ibrahim Kodra-Swiss Foundation".
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide financial support for the activities of young architects from Kosovo on the occasion of their participation in the collateral event "New Urbanistic" at the Venice Architecture Biennale for 2018, for cultural promotion and support, during 2018," the MCYS announcement states.
