Several Albanian-language news portals published an article yesterday (August 30) claiming that the leader of the Serbian List, Goran Rakic, was seen in intimate scenes on a yacht.
The article is based on a Facebook post from a profile named "Dražan Stojković", who published a photo showing a bald man with glasses (referring to him as one of the leaders of Kosovo Serbs) in intimate moments with a woman on a yacht, whom news portals claim is Goran Rakić.
After verification by hibrid.info, it was found that the man seen in the photo is not Goran Rakić.
