The article titled "After the drop in oil prices, another piece of good news comes for all citizens", was published by the dubious portal "mergimtarshqip.com".
From the fact-checking analysis, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of the article is inadequate, while the content contains old news from March.
This news item presents the statement of the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure, Environment and Spatial Planning, Hysen Durmishi, who on March 18 announced that they had reached an agreement with the Road Transport Association to return prices to their previous levels, after the price of oil had dropped at that time.
So, the news is old and contains a fabricated headline that implies that there is currently a drop in the price of oil in Kosovo.
