The Serbian-language sports information portal "sportal.blic.rs" published an article yesterday (December 4) claiming that the Swiss national football player of Kosovo origin, Xherdan Shaqiri, is in a relationship with singer Durata Ahmetaj, who, by these media, is described as a "beauty from Serbia."
The article published by the aforementioned portal is titled "SERBIANS HATE HIM, AND HE... Shaqiri 'walks' with a beauty from Serbia".
The article in this medium states that "Xherdan Shaqiri is undoubtedly one of the most hated footballers in Serbia, but after the news that he is in a relationship with a girl from Serbia, the hatred towards him will increase."
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it was found that this article made two incorrect claims: the first is that Xherdan Shaqiri is separated from Dhurata Ahmetaj, and that the latter is not from Serbia but from Kosovo.

Also, the claim that these two are in a relationship does not stand up to the fact that, as reported in the media, they have now broken up. (here)
