"Final decision, Serbia will hand over Radojicic, Server: Lajcak's shameful failure" is the title of an article.
The article was published yesterday (July 1) by the information portal "ntv.al".
What's wrong with this claim?
After fact-checking, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of the article is incorrect. In the content of the article, it becomes clear that American professor Daniel Serwer, in his opinion, said that Serbia should hand over Milan Radoić to Kosovo for trial, who is responsible for the attack in Banjska in September 2023. (here)
So, Serwer did not say that Serbia "will deliver it"Radoicin, but that"must hand it in"the same. Consequently, there is no decision that Serbia will hand over the main suspect in the armed attack in Banjska, Milan Radoićić, as claimed in the title of the "ntv.al" article.
Link to the article published on the "ntv.al" portal:
After research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info has confirmed that this article, "ntv.al" took from the portal "AlbanianPost.com", which then changed the title.
On the portal "AlbanianPost.com", the article bears the title "Serwer: Lajcak has failed, Serbia should hand over Radojicic." (see here)
To further confirm what Serwer actually said, hibrid.info has found the American professor's opinion published on his personal blog, "peacefare.net". (see here)
Excerpt from Daniel Serwer's opinion, translated into Albanian:
Now would be a good time for Belgrade to ensure that Milan Radoić pays for his crimes and is unable to recover politically. Serbia should hand him over to Kosovo for trial.
Analyze:
The claim of the information portal "ntv.al"That there is a decision from Serbia to hand over Radoicic to Kosovo is not correct."
Hibrid.info has found that the American professor, on his personal blog, stated that Serbia should hand over Radoicic for trial in Kosovo.
