A video material was published on TikTok by the account named "qiameti2024" on June 1, in which it is claimed that the Central Intelligence Agency "CIA" foresees armed conflict in Kosovo during July, warning of the risk of this conflict spreading to the Balkans.
But the claim presented in this video has been confirmed by hibrid.info as unverified.
Link to the video material published on "TikTok" by the account "qiyameti2024":
Although the above claim cannot be proven, since access to classified documents of this agency is not possible without the authorization of the American CIA, hibrid.info has researched through search engines and has found data on Kosovo, which is open and published on the CIA website. (see here).
In the open data dedicated to Kosovo, this website does not include data indicating the security situation in Kosovo, which could argue the claim made by the "qiyameti2024" account.
Despite in-depth research through digital platforms (search engines, social media), hibrid.info has not been able to find the same or similar material published by any credible source.
When asking the online search engine "Google" for the same claim written in Albanian, the only results returned that include CIA-related articles are those that address a possible war between Albania and Serbia, in a document drafted by experts from this agency. (see here and here).
Also, even after searching in English through "Google", no published article was found that raised such a claim about the spread of any armed conflict in Kosovo during the month of July. (see photo below)
Analyze:
Based on the verification of the facts, it has been proven that the claim that "the CIA warned of armed conflict during July in Kosovo" is untrue.
Such a claim has not been found published in any online media, either in English or Albanian. Also, access to classified documents of this agency is not possible without authorization.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this claim as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
