Several portals in Kosovo published yesterday (November 1) an article titled "Albanian Prime Minister Honors Former Serbian Basketball Player Vlade Divac with a Passport."
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of this article is incorrect, as the content states that the acting Prime Minister of Montenegro, Dritan Abazović, is the one who gave the country's passport to former Serbian basketball player, Vlade Divac.
This title implies that it is about Edi Rama, because only Rama is recognized as the Albanian prime minister based on the concept of the nation-state.
Also, the photograph does not clarify which prime minister it is, as it shows the figure of former Serbian basketball player Vlade Divac.

Given that the title claims that the personality who gave the passport to the former Serbian basketball player is the Albanian prime minister, which implies that it is the prime minister of Albania, hibrid.info has conducted research on the clarification of the concept of nation-state, which explains the doubt raised by the title of this article.
The concept of nation, according to the way European nations were formed, after the French Revolution (1789), is the same as the state. Many authors describe this similarity of the nation with the state, according to the European concept. Hibrid.info has found a description of the Swedish-Swiss researcher Lars-Erik Cederman about the similarity of the nation, where it is said that “A nation-state is a political unit where the state and the nation are compatible.” (see here)
Based on this definition, "When the state and the nation coincide territorially and demographically, the resulting unit is a nation-state," it follows that Dritan Abazović is of Montenegrin nationality, but of Albanian ethnicity.
This means that Dritan Abazović is the (acting) Montenegrin Prime Minister or Prime Minister of Montenegro and represents the interests of the Montenegrin nation, despite the fact that he is of Albanian ethnicity. (see here)
Furthermore, only the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, is recognized as an “Albanian Prime Minister” based on the definition of “nation state”. (see here)
Analyze:
Several portals have published an article regarding the acting Prime Minister of Montenegro, Dritan Abazović, who gave the country's passport to former Serbian basketball player, Vlade Divac.
However, in the headlines, these portals referred to Abazović as the Albanian prime minister.
In the definition of "nation state", Abazović is considered to be a Malaysian prime minister, while only Albania's Edi Rama is recognized as an Albanian prime minister.
