Kosovo Police denies Simić's claim that "Special Unit damaged Serb vehicles in the north"

HIBRID

The deputy leader of the Serbian List, Igor Simić, posted several photos on his official Facebook profile showing several damaged cars. In his post, Simić claimed that these cars are owned by Serbs from the north and that they were damaged by the Special Unit of the Kosovo Police yesterday evening. However, this was denied by the Kosovo Police.

Also, Simiqi's claim does not seem to be arguable, since the posted photos do not clearly show the location of the vehicles, their license plates, residence signs, or any other specifics are not visible.

Simic's Facebook post translated into Albanian:

“During the shift change at the Brnjak administrative crossing tonight, at around 23:30, the so-called ROSU 'special forces' intentionally damaged a dozen parked private motor vehicles owned by Serbs. That today an agreement was reached that respects the interests of our people. The same thing happened at the Jarinje crossing when the private vehicles of journalists were scratched”, he wrote on Facebook.

The claim of the vice-president of the Serbian List was denied by the Kosovo Police:

"In order to properly inform public opinion, through this official announcement, we deny the tendentious and untrue article by Igor Simic published on his social network Facebook."

Analyze:

Igor Simić has claimed that the Kosovo Police Special Unit in the north of the country damaged several cars belonging to local Serbs last night, attaching several photographs.

But, in these photographs of the damaged vehicles, their location is not clearly shown. There are no license plates, address information or any other specifics that would substantiate the claim made by Simić.

Kosovo Police, in a clarification via Facebook, has denounced Simiqi's claim, calling it a tendentious and untrue article.

Since the claim of the deputy leader of the Serbian List is not based on any facts that these vehicles were damaged by the Special Unit and that they belong to local Serbs, hibrid.info has assessed it as "unverified content".


Reasoning:

The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
