An article titled, "Edi Rama is lying: – Serbia will never recognize Kosovo!".
The article was published on Facebook yesterday (May 21), by "Bota Sot", a page of the "botasot.info" portal.
However, hibrid.info has noticed that this publication does not make it clear that this article represents an opinion piece.
Link to the article published by the "Bota Sot" website:
Hibrid.info has found that within the content, it is understood that the article represents an opinion written by Prof. Enver Byrtyçi, which is not clarified in the publication of this article on Facebook (see here).
In this opinion, the author expressed his assessment of the statements of the Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, who in an interview stated that if he were in charge of Kosovo, he would implement all the obligations arising from the Brussels Agreement and then the responsibility would remain with Serbia (see here).
Hibrid.info has found that the author summarized his opinion on this statement by Rama with the sentence "Edi Rama is lying, Serbia will never recognize Kosovo" (see here), the sentence with which this article is titled. But in the title, the statement that "Edi Rama is lying" has been placed with a punctuation mark (:) (here), which means that the other statement "Serbia will never recognize Kosovo" comes as a statement by Prime Minister Rama.
So, in addition to the fact that the publication does not clarify that the article presents an opinion, the title of the article is incorrectly presented as a statement by Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Analyze:
The claim that Prime Minister Edi Rama has declared that Serbia will never recognize Kosovo is not accurate.
Hibrid.info has found that the article published by "botasot.info" presents an opinion, although this is not made clear in the publication on this portal's Facebook page. The title of the opinion is also incorrectly presented as a statement by Prime Minister Rama.
Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this content as "Clickbait".
Reasoning:
“Clickbait” is considered to be informational content whose title is general and does not disclose the location of the event, context and relevance. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the audience with sensational headlines with misleading consequences, which do not accurately clarify the content of the article. “Clickbait” headlines are mainly made to attract readability in the case of media publications and/or to earn from clicks in the case of commercial publications.
