In the "Takovska 10" television show titled "Banjska and the Consequences" broadcast on Serbian public television "RTS" yesterday (September 26), Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic claimed that the video showing Milan Radojcic inside the Monastery in Banjska, which was published by Kosovo's Interior Minister Xhelal Sveclja, "was not from the day of the incident."
Dacic, commenting on the video published by Kosovo's Minister of Interior, Xhelal Svecl, showing Milan Radojcic in the Banjska Monastery, after a question asked by the journalist, said that "the fact that there was also snow shows that the recording is definitely not from that day" in the video.
After verifying the facts and analyzing the published videos, no traces of the alleged snow are visible.
Link to the show published on "RTS" (from 14:20-14:36):
The Serbian chief diplomat, claiming that it was snowing that day, claims that the recording does not belong to that day.
Based on the published video showing Radojčić inside the courtyard of the Banjska monastery, there is no sign of any snow, but the ground is wet from the rain and the vegetation suggests that it is the beginning of autumn. (here)
Even online weather forecast platforms report that there was rain in Zvecan on September 24, and not for a long period. (here)
Analyze:
The facts show that Minister Dacic's claim that the recording showing Radojcic was not from that day, claiming that snow is visible, is unfounded.
In the published images, only the rain-soaked ground is visible, and it is previously known that there was rainfall in the early morning of September 24th.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info considers this claim to be "misinformation".
