An image has been published showing Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia, with a caption claiming that he is pushing for a coalition between opposition parties in Kosovo, together with the Serbian List (LS), but without the Self-Determination Movement (LVV).
it CONTENT was published six days ago on TikTok by an account named "shqiptariks".
What is the truth?
Hibrid.info has found that there are no public statements by President Vučić in which he has expressed himself in favor of any particular coalition in Kosovo.
As of the time of writing, this content on TikTok has received over 81 thousand views and 727 comments.
Vučić said that the Serbian List scored a “big and important victory for Serbia” in the February 9 parliamentary elections in Kosovo, saying that this showed “the strong commitment of the Serbian people to preserve their homeland and to rely on their Serbia.” The Serbian president’s statement was met with a ITEM of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which hibrid.info found after research.
In the same article, Vučić is reported to have said that he "does not want" to speculate or "interfere in inter-Albanian relations", but that anyone who would form a government with Albin Kurti "would be politically dead".
Hibrid.info has found that even in October of last year, Marko Djuric, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, had called for Albin Kurti not to be voted out at the Security Council meeting in New York.
Kosovo held elections parliamentary session on February 9 of this year.
Analyze:
The claim that Vučić is insisting on a coalition of Albanian opposition parties with LS and without LVV is incorrect.
Vučić has not expressed his opinion on how he prefers the composition of the governing coalition in Kosovo, but he has said that anyone who would form a government with Kurti "would be politically dead."
