The Serbian-language online medium "Kosovo-online.net" has published an article titled "Çitaku: My Facebook account has been blocked due to the announcement about Djokovic."
Hibrid.info has verified the facts of this article written by this portal, and has confirmed that the title raises a fabricated claim. The same fabrication is also presented in the content, falsely claiming that the vice president of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Vlora Çitaku, said that "Her Facebook account has been blocked due to a post about Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic."
This claim by this Serbian-language media outlet is incorrect, as Çitaku announced on Twitter that her Facebook account had been blocked, but in no case did she mention that this happened because of a post she made about the Serbian tennis player.
Excerpt from the article on the Serbian-language portal "Kosovo-online.com" translated into Albanian:
The Vice President of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Vlora Çitaku, has announced that her account on the social network Facebook has been blocked for a week.
In a post on Twitter, Çitaku emphasized that the reason for the blocking was her post about Novak Djokovic, and that she knew who had reported her.
"Because of the post, my Facebook account has been blocked for a week. Those who have followed me on social networks know very well how correct I am in public communication. I can guess who reported me... from the northern neighborhood." I am here (on Twitter) "verified", said Çitaku.

The same article with false claims was also published by the Russian media outlet "Sputnik" in Serbian. (see here)
On her personal Twitter account, Vlora Çitaku announced that her Facebook account had been blocked for a week, hinting that such a thing may have happened due to reports made by, as she put it, "the northern neighborhood." (see here).
So, Çitaku has never mentioned that her Facebook account was blocked due to a post about Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic, as falsely claimed by the Serbian-language portal "Kosovo-online.net".
