The Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia has claimed that a group of Albanians provoked Serbs with KLA flags in Vërboc, Viti.

However, in the photo posted in this announcement, it is not clear whether this flag has the KLA emblem, and the license plate of the vehicle in this photo is not visible.

The article with the same photo was also published by the Serbian-language online medium "Kosovo-online.com".

This announcement from this office was also published by the online media in Serbia "Kurir.rs", but using a different photo with the KLA emblem. The photo used by this media outlet is actually old.


This photo used by “Kurir.rs” is taken from a video taken near the Special Court in The Hague. In this video, published by the Albanian-language media outlet “Indeksonline.net” on July 13, 2020, a flag with the emblem of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is seen placed on the grilles near the headquarters of this court. (see video below)

Analyze:

The Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia, through an unclear photograph, claimed that there was a provocation of Serbs in Viti by Albanians with KLA flags.

This announcement from this office was also published by the Serbian media outlet "Kurir.rs", in which it included an old photograph that does not belong to this event.

After fact-checking based on the work methodology, hibrid.info rates this article 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.
