Several Serbian-language media outlets have published articles with the statement of the editor-in-chief of the information portal "telegrafi.com", Muhamet Hajrullahu (here), about the opposition protests in Belgrade.
These media have claimed that Hajrullahu enjoyed the opposition protests in Belgrade, claiming to have said: "We shook Vucic, the end came."
After verifying the facts, it was found that Hajrullah's Twitter tweet was distorted by Serbian-language media.

Parts of the article published in some media in the Serbian language:
Muhamet Hajrulahu, editor of the Telegrafi portal from Pristina, has supported the political protests of the opposition and has published a photo from the protest on Twitter.
"We shook Vucic, the end came," he wrote.
Serbian-language media, referring to a tweet by Hajrullah, have raised the claim that the latter enjoyed the opposition protests in Belgrade, distorting his statement in this tweet, where he is interpreted to have said: "We shook Vučić, the the end has come". So, presenting Hajrullah's post as in the first person.
In fact, Hajrullahu on his Twitter profile, publishing a photo from the protest against Vučić in Belgrade, wrote that "the foundation of Vučić in Belgrade is shaking today, but the end has come." (here)
Regarding this distortion, Hajrullahu himself reacted through a tweet on Twitter, asking the media in the Serbian language not to distort his statements. (here)
Analyze:
The facts show that the editor-in-chief of the information portal "telegrafi.com" did not declare that "we shook Vučić, the end has come" and that he could hardly wait for the opposition protests in Belgrade, but "we shook Vučić's foundation in Belgrade today, the end has come."
Serbian-language media have distorted Hajrullah's statement.
Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info assesses this claim as "manipulation of facts".
