On social media such as "Telegram", "TikTok" and "X", images are circulating that present the official X profiles of the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, and President Vjosa Osmani.
These images claim that the official accounts of the two heads of state of Kosovo are located in Serbia.
All of these social media posts were published by accounts and channels with content in Serbian, but also English.
Two Telegram channels in Serbian "CORRIDOR” (HALLWAY) and “BUNKER” (BUNKER), have published the image showing Kurti's profile on X, where it is claimed that his account is located in Serbia. (see photo below)
The same content was found posted in Serbian on TikTok by the account "kristi47905”, as well as in X from accounts named “BraticVlad3613","Friend of the People"and "vesnaveizovic".
What's wrong with this content?
Hibrid.info has checked Kurti's official profile on X, in the "About this account" section, and the results show that the acting prime minister has not mentioned the location of the account there at all. (see here)
Also, digital interference is observed in the content published by the aforementioned accounts. The distance between the icons and the text is not equal to the platform standard. (see photo below)
Hibrid.info has also found other content published by accounts and channels in Serbian and English that claim that even on the official account of President Vjosa Osmani in X, her location appears to be in Serbia.
Content with this claim was found published on X by profiles such as "GlobalDiss","BraticVlad3613"and "ZekyPriest3".
Hibrid.info has checked Osman's account on the X platform, in the "About this account" section, where it has been confirmed that the location does not appear at all. (see here)
The claims that the official accounts of Albin Kurti and Vjosa Osmani on X are listed with the location "Serbia" are unfounded. The images circulating on Telegram, TikTok and X from Serbian-language accounts are suspected to be manipulated.
After verifying the official profiles of both heads of state, it is clearly shown that the location is not displayed at all in the "About this account" section.
Hibrid.info found visual inconsistencies in the published images, such as irregular distances between icons and text that indicate that they are not authentic "screenshots" from the X platform, but manipulated images.
This content, published in Serbian, appears to be part of a campaign by several suspicious accounts and channels, which have published fabricated content under the pretense of presenting it as real.
