The information portal "Klankosova.tv" published an article yesterday (April 17) claiming that Serbia also detained Serbian citizens who are part of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF), during the stop of buses carrying Kosovar passengers at Serbia's borders with Croatia and Hungary on Wednesday.
The article is based on a statement by journalist from Presheva, Agon Islami, who spoke on the show "Info Magazine" regarding the event.
After verifying the facts, it was found that the journalist's statement was not accurately paraphrased.

Parts of the article published on "Klankosova.tv":
In Klan Kosova's Info Magazine, he stated that Serbian police at border points with Kosovo have detained and interrogated Serbian citizens who are part of the Kosovo Security Force.
The article states that among the Kosovar detainees at Serbia's borders with Croatia and Hungary, there are also Serbian citizens who are part of the Kosovo Security Force. While the statement of the Preševo journalist states that the Serbian police at the border points with Kosovo have also detained and interrogated Serbian citizens whose children were part of the Kosovo Security Force.
"Some of the detainees are also citizens of the Serbian community, namely Kosovo Serbs, who, according to unofficial sources of our editorial office, their children were part of the Kosovo Security Force, they were held until 16:00 PM and all of them were released without any reason by a general decision.". (see video)
So, according to unofficial sources to which Islami refers, we are talking about Serbian citizens whose children were part of the KSF, and not Serbian citizens who are part of the KSF, as claimed in the article published by "KlanKosova.tv".
Analyze:
The claim that among the detained Kosovar citizens are also Serbian citizens who are part of the KSF does not hold true, due to the fact that the statement of the Preševo journalist states that Serbian citizens whose children were part of the KSF were detained.
Based on the work methodology, hibrid.info considers the claim in the title to be "mistake".
