Several media outlets published an article yesterday (July 18) titled "Kurti: We are paving the way for early elections."
Although the statement by Albin Kurti, Prime Minister of Kosovo, taken from his tweet on Twitter, is accurate, hibrid.info has researched and verified that the lack of clarity about what and where the elections will be held leaves room for misinterpretations.
Based on the way the article is titled, the reader might assume that it is about early parliamentary elections in Kosovo.

Hibrid.info has found Prime Minister Kurti's tweet on Twitter using search engines (see here).
Albin Kurti's tweet on Twitter:
“Since last week, we have reduced the presence of the Kosovo Police by 25% in the 3 northern municipalities. We are now starting to pave the way for early elections. Kosovo is already implementing in good faith the agreement with the European Union envoy, Miroslav Lajcak, on de-escalation reached in Bratislava.”
From Prime Minister Kurti's statement, it is clear that from the beginning he is talking about the municipalities in the north of the country, for which Kurti warns of holding early elections.
Hibrid.info has also found articles published in other media that specify that there are early elections in the north of the country (see here, here and here).
Analyze:
Several media outlets have published an article on the holding of early local elections in the north of the country, quoting Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
But after research, it was confirmed that Kurti's quote was incomplete, leaving room for misinterpretation.
