Photographs have been published showing Albin Kurti, the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, in the presence of Serbian politicians.
In one image he appears opposite Vojislav Kostunica, the former prime minister of Serbia. In another he appears in the presence of Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia, and Serbian politician Vojislav Šešelj. While in the last photo he appears next to Milan Radojčić, the former deputy leader of the Serbian List.
These posts were published on Saturday (December 6) on Facebook by the pages “Tana t'zezat” (here and here), "Skenderaj Press","KLA – Kosovo Liberation Army" and from accounts with the names "National Road","Play Pavata”And“Ibrahim-Miran Kelmendi". The photos were also published on TikTok by the account named "reporterirks" (here, here and here) and on Instagram from the account named “al_press.online” (here and here).
What's wrong with the contents?
The photos are generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Hibrid.info has checked these photos through "HiveModeration", a platform that verifies audio-visual content, whether they are created by AI.
According to the platform's assessment, all three of these photos have a 99.9% chance of containing AI-generated content or deepfake.
Arlind Manxhuka (LVV), the spokesperson for the Vetëvendosje Movement, has also reacted to two of these photos, denying these publications through two posts on his Facebook account (see here and here).
Analyze:
The photos of the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, next to several Serbian politicians are not real.
These images turn out to have been created by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The contents were also denied by LVV spokesperson, Arlind Manxhuka.
Therefore, based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses the content as "Fraud".
Reasoning:
The “Deception” rating is given to informational content that is manipulated in terms of visual (deepfake, cheapfake), audio, or textual content to deceive the audience. This form of deception is usually used to produce false and manipulated content.
