The information portal "Botasot.info" on September 2 published an article titled "The final agreement / This should be Kosovo's condition - here is the 'bomb' planted by Serbia".
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it turns out that the title and photo do not correspond to the content.
The content includes an authorial article by analyst Gani Qarri, who, for the "Botasot.info" portal, assessed that the condition for Kosovo to continue the dialogue with Serbia, according to him, should be the inclusion of the US in the talks.
According to the title of the article, it is implied that there is a condition for Kosovo that must be met before a final agreement with Serbia. So the publisher (online medium), through this title, aims to present the opinion as news that describes a development/event, without making it clear that it is only an individual opinion.
Also, the photograph published in this article is inadequate, showing the portrait of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and that of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, as well as several members of the Kosovo Police.
Excerpt from the article published on the portal "Botasot.info":
He adds that Kosovo's condition for continuing the dialogue should be the inclusion of the US in the talks.
"Kosovo must condition the direct involvement of the US in the talks, to conclude the dialogue with the help of American emissaries, and the achievement of a comprehensive agreement with mutual recognition between the two countries without border changes, Bosnianization, nor reunification, nor questioning the continuity of the state of Kosovo! Otherwise, as long as hegemonic Serbia does not recognize the independence of Kosovo, it continues to see Kosovo, not as a neighboring state, but as a colony, openly expresses territorial claims to the north and the most vital parts with special water and mineral resources of our country, and the EU mediators, in addition to a neutral stance on the status, also support "neutral" tables for the Serbs in the north, and also favor Serbia's territorial claims, demanding that Kosovo make concessions with its lands, in favor of Serbia", emphasizes Qarri.
