Several Serbian-language media outlets have published an article today (06/26/2023) with content that raises the unfounded claim that, as it is said, "Pristina had prepared massive and brutal arrests of Serbs on Vidovdan Day in Gazimestan."
The claim is based on the phrase "as Novosti learns", where according to them, on the orders of the regime in Pristina, the Kosovo Police planned to torture visitors to Vidovdan in Gazimestan, where cameras were placed.
Apart from the phrase "as Novosti learns", which implies that this medium is the source of the information, although unspecified, no other credible facts or photographs are provided for the claim made.

Excerpts from the article published in Serbian-language media:
As "Novosti" reports, on the orders of the regime in Pristina, members of the so-called Kosovo Police planned to torture visitors to Vidovdan in Gazimestan, where the entire area was alerted and cameras were installed. The plan was a much more brutal and massive arrest of Serbs, which takes place every year on the Vidovdan holiday in Gazimestan.
The claim of planning the "brutal and massive arrest of Serbs on Vidovdan" is based only on the phrase "as Novosti learns" without specifying the source and providing additional information to support the claim.
Despite the fact that cameras are allegedly installed in Gazimestan, no photographs are provided from the location where the alleged cameras are seen.
Furthermore, the Kosovo Police has not made public any security plan provided on Vidovdan Day in Gazimestan.
