An article titled "LDK wins Gjilan in the runoff" is published.
it CONTENT with this title it was published on Sunday (September 14) by an online portal called "mediafokus.info".
What's wrong with the title?
Hibrid.info found that the claim of LDK's victory in Gjilan represents an opinion, which is not made clear in the title.
The title page says, ""Tonight on Pressing, we are discussing local elections and the prospects of parties in municipalities."
While the following sentence makes it clear that the claim in the title represents the opinion of Baton Haxhiu, one of the panelists in the studio in this discussion.
Haxhiu's quotes in the article from which the presented claim was taken:
"Podujeva belongs to Ekrem Hyseni, but in a runoff. In Pristina, I refrain from saying who will go to the runoff, because the votes could be 1 percent, a difference for three candidates. I also don't really believe who the votes of the third runoff will go to, since the hostility between the three parties is the same.
The advantages of the LDK are: Istog, Vitia, Lipjan: I think that Imri Ahmeti has no problem at all. Besnik Osmani in Fushë Kosovë, Ekremi in Podujeva, Gjilan in the landslide will win the LDK, in Peja and also in Obiliq.
Hibrid.info has researched and found the video of the show published on the official channel of "T7" television, where this television format is broadcast, and has confirmed the authenticity of Baton Haxhiu's statement, which was reported in the article discussed (see here(, 01:23:36).
Local elections in Kosovo's municipalities will be held on October 12, 2025, while the political campaign started on Saturday (September 13), which means that there is still no official confirmation of the results of the municipal elections (see here).
Also, hibrid.info, through research using the Google search engine, has not found any credible published survey that would provide a preliminary overview of the results of the candidates for mayors in Kosovo (see here).
Analyze:
The headline presented the opinion of panelist Baton Haxhiu on the election results in the municipality of Gjilan, as a confirmed fact.
The title does not indicate that it is a prediction.
Therefore, based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates it as "Clickbait".
