The news that the Serbian army has approached the border with Kosovo is old.

A TikTok account published a video yesterday (January 14) claiming that the Serbian army has been deployed near the border with Kosovo and, through a photo of the American ambassador, Hovenier claims that he said: "NATO is ready."

But, after verification of the facts conducted by hibrid.info, it has been proven that neither of these two claims is true and that the photograph used in the video material is old.

Hibrid.info on the official channel of the medium "EuronewsAlbania" on Youtube has found the same news published on December 1, 2023, which shows that this news is not current. (see here)

Also, even in searches on the online search engine "Google", no current article was found that proves that the Serbian army has approached the border with Kosovo, nor has Hovenier stated anything like that.

A TikTok account, through a video, claimed that the Serbian army was stationed near the border with Kosovo and that the US ambassador, Hovenier, reacted to this event.
