The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia has issued a statement alleging that graffiti praising the terrorist KLA has been painted on the building of the Consulate General of the Republic of Serbia in Stuttgart.
Hibrid.info, after verifying the facts in this statement, has noticed that this statement falsely claims that the Kosovo Liberation Army is praised in these graffiti, as there is no inscription/emblem or other detail related to the KLA in them.
These graffiti show the eagle of the national flag, while on both sides of it is the image of a "Kalashnikov" weapon.
This statement was also published by the Serbian-language portal "Kosovo-online.com".
Communiqué of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, translated into Albanian:
Unknown authors last night painted graffiti praising the terrorist KLA (the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army) on the building of the Consulate General of the Republic of Serbia in Stuttgart.
This morning, Consulate General employees removed the graffiti from the garage door and notified the competent authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany of the incident.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia strongly condemns this provocative and vandalistic act and expects the perpetrators to be found.
