The information portal "Kosova Sot" published yesterday (September 22) an article titled "Former President Passes Away".
After verifying the facts by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title is a generalization that does not clarify which former president of which country it is referring to.
The news is clarified only in the content of the article, which states "Former President of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano has passed away at the age of 98."
Given the fact that the information portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian-speaking (see here), the title leaves room for interpretation that it refers to one of the former presidents of Kosovo.

Hibrid.info also found articles published in foreign media regarding the event in question, in order to confirm that this is about the death of former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano. (see here and here)
Analyze:
The information portal "Kosova Sot" has published an article regarding the death of former Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, but the title does not clarify which former president of which country it is referring to.
The online medium "kosova-sot.info", which is a portal operating in Kosovo based on the followers of the Facebook page, has the largest number of readers from Kosovo. Therefore, not clarifying in the title which former president of which country is being discussed, could very easily result in misinforming readers, making them think that the news is about one of the former Kosovo presidents.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this article as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
The “Clickbait” rating is given to texts whose titles have 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 intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
