The Facebook page "33shi.com", which has nearly 50 thousand followers, has published an article announcing that from January 2023, Kosovo citizens will pay for plastic bags.
However, in the description of this article, this site falsely claimed that the bag would cost 1 euro.
This was confirmed after fact-checking by hibrid.info, as the content does not clarify how much a plastic bag is expected to cost.
