After verification of the facts conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the person in the photograph is not a sniper from any Kosovo Police unit, but rather a member of the German army.

Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this post as "Unverified Content".


Reasoning:

The “Unverified” rating is given to those media reports that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which have not been able to confirm the same due to the lack or non-possession of reliable sources.
