With old video, false claims are made about "the introduction of weapons from Serbia"

FATBARDH DEMA

OUR VERDICT

disinformation

The footage has nothing to do with weapons. It's from a 2025 report on smuggling goods.

"Breaking news: 3 vehicles with weapons from Serbia entered Leposavic this evening, KFOR in pursuit. HOW DID THEY ENTER?" is the description placed on a video published on TikTok in the early hours of June 30th.

In about 12 hours since its publication, the video from the account "albinii33" has received more than 260 thousand views, over 3000 reactions and dozens of comments.

What's wrong with this content?

While the post claims "today's" events and the introduction of "weaponization", this is not based on facts.


What are the facts?

The real video was released months ago and does not represent a modern-day case. It shows three vehicles that were filmed as part of a larger investigation into suspected smuggling on the Kosovo-Serbia border.


The content being discussed displays the logo of the online magazine “Prishtina Insight”. A check of this page shows that it is a research conducted at the end of 2025 (see here). On the official website of “Prishtina Insight"The material was published on December 16, 2025.

The video material leads to the article titled "Six arrested after KALLXO.Com exposed smuggling routes on the Kosovo-Serbia border". Furthermore, the article talks about "smuggling of goods" and does not specify that it is about "weapons smuggling". Furthermore, in the police operation to arrest six suspects for smuggling, it is said that the Police encountered food and textile products. The Police had also reported on December 11th about such a case (see here).


Analyze:

The claim on TikTok that three armored vehicles from Serbia entered Leposavic on June 30 is false.

The footage is not new, but was published in December 2025 by "Prishtina Insight" in an investigation into the smuggling of goods on the Kosovo-Serbia border.

The report referred to the smuggling of goods and did not specify that it was about arms smuggling. The article published at the time indicated that the police had arrested six suspects for smuggling food products and textiles.

Therefore, based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses these claims as "Disinformation".

Reasoning:

"Disinformation" is defined as information content that contains a "mix" of inaccurate sources or even half-truthful attributes, and that is created and/or distributed with the deliberate intention of causing harm. The motive behind the producers/distributors of disinformation content lies in achieving a political, financial, psychological or social goal.
