The Serbian media outlet "Novosti.rs" published yesterday (September 19) an article titled "The fake state is playing with fire: The bloody intentions of the so-called Kosovo and the praise of the criminal NATO pact."
This claim made through the headline by the Serbian-language media outlet is made through an unfounded interpretation of the content of a post by Kosovo's Minister of Defense, Armend Mehaj, regarding the intention to join NATO.
So, the Serbian daily interprets Kosovo's goal for NATO membership, expressed by Minister Mehaj, in the headline as Kosovo's bloody goal and considers NATO as a criminal pact.

Excerpts from the article published on "Novosti.rs":
The self-proclaimed Minister of Defense of the fake state of Kosovo, Armend Mehaj, has said that the next goal is Kosovo's membership in NATO.
Our destination is membership in the largest alliance that guarantees peace and stability, NATO is a meeting place and the continuation of joint missions with partner countries - said Mehaj.
Although the content of the article quotes Minister Mehaj, through the title, this Serbian-language media outlet claims something else, but in an unfounded manner.
Furthermore, Mehaj, in his Facebook post, emphasizes that a professional army has been established and that the goal is to protect the state of Kosovo from any danger and threat, as well as NATO membership.

Parts of Minister Mehaj's statement on Facebook:
23 years since the troops that were responsible for preventing and reducing damage from natural disasters have been transformed into a professionally established army, operationally ready to come to the aid of its citizens not only in the event of natural disasters but also to protect every inch of the Republic of Kosovo, the statehood of our homeland against any danger and threat.
Our destination is membership in the largest alliance that ensures peace and stability, NATO is the meeting point and continuation point of joint missions with partner countries.
The interpretation of this medium goes even further. Through the title, it is claimed that NATO is a criminal pact. In fact, the mission of this alliance is the opposite of what “Novosti.rs” claims. Based on the treaty known as the “Washington Treaty” or the “North Atlantic Treaty” which is the founding act of NATO, it is said that the mission of this alliance is to ensure peace and stability.

Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses that the claims of the Serbian newspaper are unfounded and are classified as "conspiracy theories".
Rating:
"Conspiracy theories" are media reports that disseminate a false or unverifiable description of a phenomenon, event, or person, presenting it as part of or the result of a secret plan ("conspiracy"). A characteristic of these reports is that they present a series of claims, presented as facts, between which cause-effect relationships are established, without providing any credible evidence.
