The dubious Albanian-language portal "readkoala.com" has published an article titled "Video/ 'Bombshell' Wiretapping That Shakes Kosovo Politics: Thaçi Has Financed Vuçiqi's Party."
The article with the same claim was also published in August 2020 by the portal "pamfleti.com" in Albania, which stated that this portal had managed to find a wiretap of a telephone conversation between a political official in Serbia and a Serbian political official in Kosovo.
However, this article was also verified at that time by the hibrid.info staff and, based on the work methodology, was assessed as "unverified content", due to the failure to complete this article with supporting facts that prove the authenticity of the wiretapping, causing this evidence to lose relevance, not proving the authenticity of the material.
"Readkoala.com" took this old article and published it, claiming to present it as current, even though the video promised in the title is not found in the content.

Analyze:
The dubious portal "readkoala.com" has published this old article, which it has tried to present as current.
Hibrid.info in August 2020 fact-checked the article published by pamfleti.net, but given the sensitivity of the material (wiretapping) and the chronology of the statements of this Serbian politician himself, which are related to the context of the video, it hesitated to categorize this article as disinformation or fake news.
As a result of all these factors, the article has been categorized as "Unverified Content", as the text raised issues that are not verified.
Reasoning:
Unverified Content – The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
