The Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia (OKOS) has ALLEGED that Kosovo institutions have arrested Serbs not on suspicion of war crimes, but as part of a politically motivated campaign by the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, to exert pressure on the Serbian community after the elections.
reaction from this office came after a joint operation by the Special Prosecution Office and the Kosovo Police, as part of the war crimes investigation in the case known as "Reçaku II", where five people of Serbian nationality were arrested.
What's wrong with the ZQS claim?
This office in no way provides facts or evidence that support the claim that the arrest of these individuals is related to pressure on the Serbian community after the June 7 elections.
FACTS
On Sunday (June 14) the Special Prosecution in a press conference, announced that the arrested are of Serbian nationality and former members of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was stated that four of them are pensioners, while one continues to work in the postal services in Serbia.
According to the Kosovo Police, one of the suspects was arrested at the "Dheu i Bardhë" border crossing in the early hours of the morning, while the other four were arrested at various locations in Kosovo.
During the searches, authorities said they seized documents, uniforms, police equipment and other materials deemed relevant to the investigation. (see here article published by REL).
Beyond the claim by the OQS for political motives, the narrative presents the Kosovo Police and Prosecution as instruments controlled by the political power and links these arrests to the elections without any facts, suggesting that they are taking place as punishment for the "unity of the Serbian people."
Analyze
The OQS claimed that the arrest of five Serbs suspected of war crimes is part of a political campaign by Albin Kurti against the Serbian community after the elections.
However, this claim is not based on facts or evidence. According to the Special Prosecution Office and the Kosovo Police, the arrests were carried out as part of the war crimes investigation into the “Reçaku II” case.
This office also presents Kosovo's institutions as politically controlled and links the arrests to the elections, without providing any facts to support this claim.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this claim by the ZQS as a "conspiracy theory".
rationale
"Conspiracy theories" are considered to be informational content that contains a false or unverifiable description of a phenomenon, event or person, presenting it as part or the result of a secret plan ("conspiracy"). The characteristic of these contents is that they present a series of claims, presented as facts, between which cause-effect relationships are established, without providing any reliable evidence.
