The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" yesterday (April 4) published an article titled "It is suspected that the man killed the pregnant woman."
After research conducted by Hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title does not clarify in which country the event took place.
Knowing that this portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here), the title under which the article was written, may misinform readers that this event is about Kosovo.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Kosova-sot.info":
A pregnant woman whose husband is accused of murdering her fell 40 to 50 metres down a hill and died. Kashif Anwar, 29, has denied attacking and killing his wife Fawziyah Javed, 31, in Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, on September 2, 2021.

Analyze
The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article about a suspected murder that occurred in Edinburgh, but the title does not clarify the location of the incident.
Knowing that the medium in question is registered in our country and the majority of its audience are Albanian speakers from Kosovo, the title placed in the article implies that the news item is about an event that occurred in our country.
After fact-checking based on the work methodology, "hibrid.info" assesses this article as "clickbait".
