Serbian newspaper “Informer.rs” has published today (October 20) an article claiming that official Pristina is preparing to attack Serbia. The article published by “Informer.rs” is titled “PRISTINA IS SERIOUSLY PREPARING FOR WAR! Albanians ask NATO for missiles to attack Serbia”.
The article is based on a warning by the Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vasiliy Nebenzia, according to whom Pristina is seeking long-range missile systems from Western countries.
The Serbian newspaper links its claim of preparations for an attack on Pristina to the statement of Kosovo's Foreign Minister, Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz, who accused Serbia of 'preparing for war'!

Excerpts from the article published on "informer.rs":
The so-called Albanian government in Pristina is apparently seriously preparing for war and is demanding that the West hand them medium-range missile systems! With this type of weapon, experts warn, the Albanians could attack any place in Serbia!
This disturbing information was announced by the Russian ambassador to the UN, Vasiliy Nebenzia, who warned that Pristina is also asking Western countries for radar systems. The Russian official emphasizes that such requests from the so-called Albin Kurti government show that their intentions are not peaceful at all!
That the fake state is seriously planning to arm itself was indirectly confirmed by the so-called 'chief of Kosovo diplomacy', Donika Gervala Schwarz, who accused Serbia of 'preparing for war'!?!
The Serbian media tendentiously interprets the statement of the Russian ambassador to the UN, regarding the purchase of radars, as Pristina's preparations for an attack on Serbia. Despite the fact that the ambassador assesses Pristina's actions as non-peaceful, the Serbian newspaper interprets them as preparations for an attack on Serbia. (here)
Furthermore, the Serbian newspaper's connection of the Kosovo Foreign Ministry statement, Gërvalla-Schwarz, with preparations for an attack on the official Pristina appears to be an unfounded claim. Gërvalla-Schwarz in her statement accuses Serbia of preparing for war, not that Kosovo has any intention of an attack on Serbia: (here)
The international community is alarmed that the ideology of the "Serbian world" in the Balkans could lead to new wars. Vučić is preparing military aggression in the Balkans, like Putin in Ukraine.

"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").
