Through a title, a claim was made about a document that divided Kosovo.
"There is betrayal / Lajcak and the draft of broken hope, here is the document that divided Kosovo" is the title used by the "ntv.al" portal in an article published on Wednesday (June 26).
What's wrong with this title?
The title doesn't match the article at all.
The article contains reporting from an interview that the European Union envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak, gave to the Kosovo-based non-governmental organization, “Sbunker", in which, according to the article itself, he spoke about the European draft of the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities.
The article discusses Lajcak's stance on the draft. As "ntv.al" writes, in this interview, Lajcak said that he would not propose a draft that he would not propose to his own country and that there is no reason to be afraid of the European draft.
The article in its content contains neither the word "treason" as in the title nor the claim that the document "divided" Kosovo.

Quotes used in the "ntv.al" article:
"'I like the discussion that is based on facts. So, it's really good to talk about what's in the document. And you know, some important countries asked the Government of Kosovo to send this draft for review to the Constitutional Court, which is certainly the best way to see how much this document meets the constitutional requirements,'" Lajcak said.
"There is no reason to be afraid of this document. I personally would never propose something that I would not propose for my country, or that I know will not meet European standards, European values and European practices," emphasized the envoy, who also spoke about the history of the Drafts that have been made public and presented in Brussels.
The article further states that, according to Lajcak, the draft of the management team was not suitable for either Kosovo or the EU. It also states that the drafting by internationals was done because there was no document drafted by the parties.
Analyze:
The Albanian-language portal "ntv.al" has used a title that does not match the article in which it reports on an interview with the European Union's envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajcak.
The title claims to be a document that has divided Kosovo, while the article has no connection to this claim at all. The article talks about Lajcak's stance that "there is no reason to fear" the European draft for the Association of Serb-majority Municipalities and that he would not propose a draft that he would not propose to his own country.
