Page "Exile with the LDK" on Facebook has published a photo showing the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.
Through this photo, it is claimed that the two are currently in Armenia and that this country has brought them together in a meeting described as "fraternal", which is interpreted by the post as directed against the state of Kosovo.
What's wrong with this claim?
Kurti is participating in The 8th Summit of the European Political Community, in Yerevan, ArmeniaHowever, Vučić is not at this summit, as claimed.
Also, the photo on which this claim was made is old.
FACTS
On the official website of the Prime Minister's Office, on May 3, an announcement was published that Kurti had traveled for an official visit to Armenia, where he will participate in the European Political Community Summit (see here).
However, the Serbian president is not attending this Summit. Serbia is represented there by Prime Minister Đuro Macut, according to a statement on the official website of the Serbian Government (see here).
The photo used in the publication by the page “Melgata me LDK-në” does not belong to this event. It was taken on May 4, 2022, during the informal dinner between Kurti and Vučić, and at that time the EU envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajčak (see here).
Analyze
A photo shared on Facebook claims that Kurti and Vučić are together in Armenia and that they met in a "brotherly" context against Kosovo.
However, this claim is not true. Kurti is participating in the 8th Summit of the European Political Community in Yerevan, while Vučić is not part of this summit. Serbia is represented by its Prime Minister. Also, the photo used is not current and belongs to an earlier meeting in 2022 during an informal dinner within the framework of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.
