This photograph contains the caption "Effect of visa liberalization, Pristina Airport is overflowing with passengers."
After verification by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title and content of the article from the link attached to the publication do not reflect the claim of the caption in the image.

Hibrid.info has verified the article attached to the image, whose title reads "Here are how many round trips were made since visa liberalization at Pristina Airport" (see here).
While the content of the article shows the numerical data of what is announced in the title, hibrid.info has found that this reporting does not include comparative data against the period before visa liberalization, in order to substantiate the claim of the caption in the image published by "Kosova Sot" on Facebook.
Hibrid.info also dealt with a similar claim yesterday and managed to find flight data for January and December of last year at Pristina Airport "Adem Jashari" (see here), which have proven that there is no mass exodus of the population from Kosovo in the period after visa liberalization for Kosovo.

Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this content as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
“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.
