Some dubious media outlets have published articles with fabricated headlines, in which they have presented false claims about alleged accusations by AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj against VV leader Albin Kurti.
One of these dubious portals, which has managed to generate the most traffic with such a claim, is “Specialja.com”. The title of the article published by this portal reads “Ramush Haradinaj: The people know that Albin Kurti’s couple can never lead Kosovo forward”.
However, just like this article, similar ones also contain a part published on online portals of Haradinaj's television confrontation with analysts, as part of the "Pressing" show on T7.
The content of the "Specialja.com" article is taken from Haradinaj's interview on T7, published on online portals:
The director of the Insajderi newspaper, Parim Olluri, and the leader of the AAK, Ramush Haradinaj, discussed some comments made in the past towards the leader of the VV, Albin Kurti. Olluri reminded Haradinaj that he once called Kurti a fraud. Haradinaj responded by saying that when you do not fulfill the hopes you have given to the citizens, then you are a fraud.
"I want to be careful with my words. But what they say will not happen. I may not be the best at governing. But what they are trumpeting is not true. I still hope that miracles can happen. But I do not share the conviction with those who say that the moment VV comes, everything will be fine in Kosovo. First, they must learn to govern. If the hope is not realized then it is a fraud", he said.

So the content of the article, as in the case of "Specilja.com" and other dubious media, does not match the headlines, which in this case are fabricated and inflammatory.
