The information portal "Albanian Post" has published today (October 12) on Facebook an article titled "Rama: I am more of a friend to Kurti than to Haradinaj, disgusted by his clinking glasses with representatives of the Serbian List.
Based on the title of this article, it is implied that Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania, has commented on the action of Ramush Haradinaj, former Prime Minister of Kosovo.
But after fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it was confirmed that Rama commented on the distribution of a video, which he describes as propaganda, in which former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj appears clinking glasses at a cocktail party with representatives of the Serbian List.
This becomes clear in the content of this article itself, in which the Albanian Prime Minister's full statement on this issue is also published.

The part of the article that clarifies Prime Minister Rama's statement:
"But also the fact that we had a rift in our friendship with Ramush does not prevent me from expressing here, publicly, my great disgust for a propaganda video distributed in recent days through the keyboards of the digital civil war, where Ramush appeared clinking glasses at a cocktail party with representatives of the Serbian List and being torn to pieces by supposedly patriotic brainwashing trolls!", the Prime Minister declared.
Also, hibrid.info, through search engines, has found on Youtube footage of Edi Rama's speech, which proves that the claim that Prime Minister Rama commented on Haradinaj's action is not true. (see here video from seconds 0:57)
