A Facebook social media page with the name “??????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????” and with photos of the leader of the “Balkan Orphans” association, on January 28 published a 90-minute long video material (1 hour and 30 min), claiming that Halil Kastrati, through a live video presentation, is announcing a reward for the audience.
The video is divided into two parts: in the left part, Halil Kastrati is seen talking about the association's activities, while in the right part, a tabletop photo with several horses.
The description of this material says ""I will give away €5000 in cash to the 500 people who correctly guess the headless horse in the picture! And it's true."
Hibrid.info has verified this video material, which has been confirmed to be old, from 2020 and, as a publication in its authentic form, has not been published for the purposes, as claimed, of any prize game.
In fact, in the authentic version of this video, published on April 6, 2020, Halil Kastrati talks about the association's activities, providing additional information about the distribution of various aid in Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and the Presevo Valley.
The video material published on January 28 on Facebook by the page named "???"

Meanwhile, in the edited version of the video re-published by the page “????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????”, participants in the prize game are “conditioned” to register on the shared link that says “Confirm the gift now, after successful registration, I will contact you! Complete the registration here”. (see photo below).
Also, in the comments, another "condition" for participants is noted, requiring the sharing of this post in 8-15 groups on Facebook.
This post has about 280 shares and 1000 comments.
After research conducted through the automated online fact-checking program "InVID", hibrid.info has managed to find the original/authentic video material made by Halil Kastrati, published on his Facebook page on April 6, 2020, a video that lasts 11 minutes and 42 seconds. (here)
