The dubious portal with Albanian-language content "Pronews20.com" today (September 9) published an article titled "Oil prices fall in Kosovo - this is how much 1L costs."
After fact-checking, hibrid.info has confirmed that this article is dated September 8. In fact, the announcement for the oil release was made on September 7 by the Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MINT), so it is 2 days old. Meanwhile, some media outlets published it on September 8, a day later.
However, this dubious portal published the same article two days late (September 9), making it appear as a current development with the claim that the price of oil in Kosovo is falling.
Research conducted by hibrid.info has shown that yesterday (September 8) and today (September 9) the price of fuel remained the same.
