The dubious portal "mitrovicapress.com" has published an article titled "Dardan Molliqaj: Albin Kurti is a Serbian spy paid by them".
After fact-checking analysis by hibrid.info, it turns out that the title of this article is completely fabricated, not matching the content of the text.
The news is old and relates to a statement by PSD leader Dardan Molliqaj, who on December 3, 2020, had emphasized that his party, in the penultimate national elections, had formed a coalition with AAK to cross the electoral threshold.
So, he never said in this statement that Albin Kurti is a spy for Serbia, as claimed in the title of the article published by the dubious portal "mitrovicapress.com".

Dardan Molliqaj: Albin Kurti is a spy for Serbia paid by them
PSD Chairman Dardan Molliqaj said that they had an invitation to join the Hoti Government, but that they did not accept to take positions as deputy ministers, ambassadors or board members.
According to him, they wanted to lead a ministry that would be free to act and that would stand up to the Vetëvendosje Movement.
"We are the only political concept that can politically dismantle Vetëvendosje," Molliqaj said on RTK's "Debate." He further said that it is incorrect to say that AAK did not allow any PSD candidate to be elected as an MP.
"It is incorrect to say that we had vote theft and AAK is not to blame here. As candidates, we were very far from being elected MPs. When we left VV from a left-wing populist party, we decided to be more social democratic, more liberal, and this cost us," said Molliqaj.
"In the context of the great dissatisfaction that had accumulated, the electorate of the old parties does not vote for the concept that you present to them. Our liberal approach harmed us. We went into coalition with AAK because the polls showed that we could not cross the threshold," said the PSD leader.
