The article titled "Kosovo at War with Serbia: Request from the State to Buy Turkish 'Bayraktar' Drones" was published by the dubious portal with content in Albanian "gazeta.thenews48hr.com".
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that this article has a fabricated title, which does not correspond to the content. The article's data presents an opinion of civil society activist, Rron Gjinovci, who said that the war is another closed one in the middle of Serbia, also mentioning the purchase of combat drones or anti-aircraft weapons.
So, the title of the article is fabricated which leaves room for misinformation, falsely claiming that there is a request from the state of Kosovo to purchase "Bayraktar" drones from Turkey.
