The information portal “Srbijadanas.com” yesterday (August 17) published an article titled “'KOSOVO WILL NOT EXIST FOR A FEW YEARS' Albanian analyst shocked the heads of the fake state.” The article claims to misinterpret a statement by the analyst from Kosovo, Nexhmedin Spahiu.
While, in the content, a detached part of an opinion by Spahiu is presented, regarding the acceptance of the state of Kosovo by the ethnic communities in the country, but which is not related to what is claimed in the title of the "Srbijadanas.com" article.

Excerpt from the article published on "Srbijadanas.com" translated into Albanian:
Political analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu has said that Serbs cannot accept the statehood of (so-called) Kosovo so easily because, according to him, a large part of the Albanian community does not believe that this "state will exist in a few years", Klan Kosova reports.
The political analyst went a step further to describe his pessimism.
– I have several dozen bets with close people that after three, ten or 20 years the state of Kosovo will not exist, which means that people do not believe in the state of Kosovo. How will we convince the Serbian minority, which cannot accept the new reality so easily, cannot accept the state of Kosovo so easily, when a large part of Albanians do not believe that the state of Kosovo will exist – Spahiu said in Info Magazine.
In fact, from what can be observed in the content of this article, it is seen that the claims made in the title that the state of Kosovo of Kosovo will not exist, trying to relate it to the statement of Nexhmedin Spahiu given to Klan Kosova, is a misinterpretation. Although the content of the article provides details of what Spahiu really said, another claim is fabricated in the title.
According to the news published in Klan Kosova, the content of which was excerpted from his analysis made during the "Info Magazine" show on Klan Kosova, Spahiu says:
"The problem is not why a large part of the Serbian minority does not recognize the state of Kosovo, the problem lies more with the Albanian community, for whom the state of Kosovo was created, which views Kosovo with skepticism. I have several dozen bets with people who are connected to me, that after three years, 10 years or after 20 years, the state of Kosovo will not exist, which means that people do not believe in the state of Kosovo. How are we going to convince the Serbian minority, which cannot accept a new reality so easily, cannot accept the state of Kosovo so easily, when a large part of Albanians do not believe that the state of Kosovo will exist."

Analyze:
The Serbian media outlet "Srbijadanas.com" in an article published yesterday (August 17) claims in its headline that Kosovo will not exist in a few years, based on statements made by Kosovo analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu. Although the article provides details of what Spahiu actually said on the "Info Magazina" show on Klan Kosova, the headline misinterprets his statement.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses that Spahiu's statement was misinterpreted in the headline and is classified as "manipulation of facts".
Reasoning:
The evaluation as "Manipulation of facts" is given to those media reports that use facts known to be correct, but interpret them in a distorted way. These reports typically use inaccurate information to draw inaccurate conclusions or claims, thereby misdirecting consumers' conclusions of media content in relation to the actual meaning of the facts presented.
