The portal "kosova-sot.info" on January 14 published an article titled "Gashi: LDK will give Albin Kurti '8 to 2' in the electoral process".
After fact-checking analysis conducted by hibrid.info, it appears that the title of this article does not correspond to the content.
"Kosova-sot.info" referred to a photo posted by LDK leadership member Arben Gashi on his Facebook profile, in which he writes:
"Albin Kurti is my political opponent, but he is not my enemy. We want to defeat him in the electoral process and not in the legal process."
So, Gashi did not say that "LDK will give Albin Kurti '8 to 2' in the electoral process", as claimed in the title of the article published on "kosova-sot.info".

Gashi: LDK will give Albin Kurti '8 to 2' in the electoral process
LDK member Arben Gashi said in a post that Albin Kurti is not his enemy, but only a political opponent.
In a photo he published, Gashi wrote that he wants to defeat Kurti in the electoral process.
"Albin Kurti is my political opponent, but he is not my enemy. We want to defeat him in the electoral process and not in the legal process," the photograph he published says.
Kurti and several other MPs have been sentenced to suspended prison terms by the court for throwing tear gas in the Parliament.
The latest Constitutional Court ruling states that anyone who has been convicted in the last three years cannot run for MP. However, VV has nominated Kurti and Albulena Haxhiu.

The portal "kosova-sot.info", in the published article, has used Arben Gashi's post on Facebook, but has changed its context through the title. So, this article has been given a made-up title, which does not match the content. After verification by hibrid.info, it turns out that this article is categorized as "misinformation" and "clickbait".
Reasoning:
Disinformation – A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of accuracy of information.
Clickbait – “Clickbait” are those texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is only intended to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
