What is the truth?
Hibrid.info's findings show that in fact the opposition in our country has not sent such an issue to the Constitutional Court.
The content has received over 90 comments, some of which show a tendency to read the content as truth.
The claim in question was researched through manual search in the Google search engine, but the sources displayed do not present evidence supporting the claim (see here).
Hibrid.info has not been able to find anything related to this claim on the Constitutional Court's website, mainly due to the fact that this institution only publishes final decisions of reviewed cases (see here).
Also, from hibrid.info's research it becomes clear that the use of the flag of the Republic of Kosovo by state institutions is regulated by a special law (see here).
Analyze:
The claim that the opposition has submitted to the Constitutional Court the placement of the flag of the Republic of Kosovo in Kosovo institutions in the north is incorrect.
Hibrid.info's research has not found a single piece of evidence supporting the claim.
