The portal "botasot.info" has published an article titled "Armend Zemaj dashes hopes: Forget vaccines".
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it turns out that the title of this article does not match in any way what is said in the text.
Zemaj, during an interview given to "ekonomiaonline.com", stated that the current government is neglecting the provision of the anti-Covid vaccine and, according to him, should have taken into account that the contingent of 24 thousand doses is not sufficient, adding that delays in the arrival of the second contingent could harm public and mental health.
Despite this, Zemaj never said "forget vaccines" in this interview, as claimed in the title of the article published on "botasot.info".

Former Minister Zemaj, among other things, added that they have no concrete information on when the next contingent of vaccines might arrive, even though communication with partners is continuing.
"Maybe there is something that needs to come to the surface because we are limited in information, but we hope that Kosovo will have the vaccines. Communication with partners is continuing despite being in opposition, the promises are real, but securing the purchase must be primary."
