The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" published yesterday (October 8) an article titled "Aleksandar Vučić, together with Radojčić, on the American blacklist."
Hibrid.info has verified the facts and confirmed that the published article represents an opinion, but that such a thing was not made clear by the publisher.
Based on the title, it is understood that Aleksandar Vučić, the president of Serbia, has been added to the United States' blacklist of sanctions.
Neither the title nor the photo specifies that the article presents an opinion, which could imply that the article constitutes news.
Excerpt from the article published on "Kosova-sot.info":
Written by: ANALYST-Skënder Mulliqi
It is nothing new if we say that the terrorist act in northern Kosovo is the work of Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, who should have been blacklisted by the US State Department. The war criminal Vučić is a friend and supporter of the Veselinović brothers, Radojčić, Vulin, Rakić and others. The question arises, how was it possible for the Veselinović, Radojčić, Vulin brothers to become the richest people in Serbia, if they were not connected to the Serbian head of state?
