The information portal "Jepize.com" yesterday (July 31) published an article titled "Official: Kosovo's borders are closed, alarming situation."
After fact-checking, hibrid.info has determined that this article contains an inadequate title, which does not match the content.
The content includes the official announcement from the Kosovo Police regarding the closure of two border crossings, Brnjak and Jarinjë, for passenger traffic by vehicle.
While the title does not clarify that it only refers to these border crossings, implying that all of the country's borders have been closed.
