Content has been published on TikTok that claims to present a survey on the current popularity of four political entities in Kosovo.
This content was published on August 8, 2026 by the account named “they should be prime ministers". Its description states: "Ardian Gjini and the Alliance are no longer the fourth party in Kosovo! The Alliance is growing strongly".
What's wrong with this content?
The presented measurement lacks basic data and information that would allow for an assessment of its credibility. The content does not state which institution, organization or company conducted the survey. Also, no publication of this measurement in the media or other credible sources has been found.
The graph claims that political parties in Kosovo have these current approval ratings:
- Vetevendosje Movement – 32.8% (-2.1% from the previous measurement)
- Alliance – 30.6% (+4.2% from the previous measurement)
- Democratic Party of Kosovo – 15.1% (-1.3% from the previous measurement)
- Democratic League of Kosovo – 6.5% (-1.5% from the previous measurement)
At the end of the graph, it is claimed that the measurement was conducted with 1,500 respondents, during the period August 1–7, 2026, through telephone and online interviews.
However, apart from this data, no information is provided that would enable verification of the survey, such as the name of the institution that conducted it, the full methodology, or the source of the publication.
Hibrid.info has searched Google for this measurement, but the results do not show it published in the media or credible sources (see here).
Also, the keywords “Kosovo poll” were searched, limiting the results to August 1-7 (see here), as this measurement was allegedly conducted. However, the results of this search have not revealed any credible articles that would confirm the existence of this or any other alleged survey.
