An image has been published that represents a Facebook status of activist Rron Gjinovci, where he writes "Slovenian friends, prepare yourself with deep sighs.", to which he also attached the emoticon Serbian flag.
The content that Gjinovci claims to have written before the Euro 2024 match between Slovenia and Serbia was published yesterday (June 20) by a Facebook page named "Prishtina".
What is the truth?
Hibrid.info has found that this image is manipulated and does not represent what Gjinovci actually wrote.

Hibrid.info has researched the Facebook account of activist Gjinovci, for publications in recent days. After checking, it was found that on June 19, Gjinovci wrote a status on Facebook, which reads "Friends, prepare yourself with a deep sigh.", along with the emoticon that represents the Croatian flag.
So, through this comment, he expressed his support for the Croatian national team before the match with the Albanian national team (see here)
Which means that in the image above, content is presented in which there is interference, which gives a different meaning to what Gjinovci actually wrote.

Analyze:
The claim that activist Rron Gjinovci has expressed support for the Serbian national team before the match against Slovenia at Euro 2024 is untrue.
The image showing Gjinovci's status with this claim is manipulated. The activist, in fact, with the same words on Facebook, has indicated that he will support Croatia in the match against the Albanian national team, in Euro 2024.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this content as "Manipulation of facts" and "Fraud".
Reasoning:
“Factual manipulation” is a rating given to informational content that uses facts known to be accurate but interprets them in a distorted manner. These reports typically use accurate information to draw incorrect conclusions or claims, thereby misleading consumers of media content about the actual meaning of the facts presented.
The “Deception” rating is given to informational content that is manipulated in terms of visual (deepfake, cheapfake), audio, or textual content to deceive the audience. This form of deception is usually used to produce false and manipulated content.
