Doubtful Albanian-language portals have published an article titled "EXCLUSIVE: Shpend Ahmeti, Visar Ymeri and Dardan Sejdiu join LDK?".
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out that the article contains a fabricated title, which does not match the content.
These portals have referred to the congratulations of the mayor of Pristina, Shpend Ahmeti, as well as analysts, Visar Ymeri and Dardan Sejdiu, who have congratulated Lumir Abdixhiku on the post of president of the Democratic League of Kosovo. So, in no part of the content is it argued with facts that this trio has the possibility of joining the LDK.
The text of the article published on dubious portals such as "specialja.com" and "promakale.com":
EXCLUSIVE: Shpend Ahmeti, Visar Ymeri and Dardan Sejdiu join LDK?
Is this a sign that Shpend Ahmeti, Visar Ymeri and Dardan Sejdiu could join Abdixhiku in the LDK?/A few seconds after you skip the marketing, the images appear. The Democratic League of Kosovo elected Lumir Abdixhiku as its leader yesterday (March 14). The election of the new leader came after the extremely poor result of this party in the last elections and the worst result in its entire history. Upon being elected leader, Abdixhiku received numerous congratulations from politicians, mayors and analysts. Among them were the mayor of Pristina, Shpend Ahmeti, as well as analysts Visar Ymeri and Dardan Sejdiu.

Reasoning:
A “Disinformation” rating is given to media reporting that contains a “mix” of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful content. This rating will also address reports that have incorrect attributions or headlines that do not reflect the text in terms of information accuracy.
The assessment as "Clickbait" is given to those texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
