Old and unconfirmed claim by Serbian media about a map error

HIBRID

Wrote: Etrit Rexhepi

Several articles are published reporting that on a map of Europe, exhibited in Denmark, the name Serbia has been mistakenly replaced with "Kosovo".

These contents with this claim were published by several Serbian-language media outlets such as "independent.com”And“standard.co.me"on June 6th.

But what's wrong with the content?

This news is old and the same claim is unverified.


Hibrid.info researched using the automated search program InVID, and found that this event was reported in 2019.

This year, Albanian-language media reported news indicating that in a driving school book in Denmark, the territory of Serbia was included within the borders of Kosovo (see here).

But, in another Serbian-language media outlet "chronograf.net", the news turns out to have been published in 2017 (see here). Although it has not been verified, this article and others published in Serbian and Albanian claim that the event occurred in Denmark.


Analyze

The claim that on a map of Europe recently exhibited in Denmark the name Serbia has been replaced with 'Kosovo' is untrue.

The news is old and has been circulating since at least 2017 and has never been confirmed to have happened in Denmark.

Based on its working methodology, hibrid.info assesses the content as "Unverified Content".

Reasoning:

The "Unverified" rating is given to those informative contents that do not provide sufficient information to confirm the claims made in the report, and which could not be verified due to certain circumstances (speed, lack of sources) during the publication of the content.
