The Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia announced yesterday (February 26) that on February 25, in a village in Klina, an auxiliary building on the property of Ljubisa Doncic was burned.
This office claims that such attacks on private properties are being carried out by what this office calls "Albanian extremists" to expel Serbs from their homes.
This office does not substantiate these claims with any facts, as the intent and perpetrators of the crime are unknown.

Excerpts from the press release published by this office, translated into Albanian:
Last night, the auxiliary building on the property of returnee Ljubisa Doncic, in the village of Klina, was set on fire. In that incident, several hundred bales of hay that were stored there were burned and the building was destroyed.
With frequent and continuous attacks on private property, arson, looting of houses, and other provocations, Albanian extremists want to make it very clear to Serbs that they will not give them peace until they are expelled from their homes.
Radio Television of Serbia "RTS" has published this announcement from the Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia, specifying that the incident occurred in the village of Bincha of Klina. (see here)
In the 24-hour report issued by the Kosovo Police for February 25, when the incident is alleged to have occurred in Binçë, Klina, no such incident was reported that could clarify the purpose and perpetrators of this crime. (see photo below)
This announcement issued by this office also appeared in the Serbian language media, as "Rts.rs","Novosti.rs","Danas.rs","Kosovo-Online.com", and "Tanjug.rs", which also without providing any facts raise the claim that this is being done with the aim of expelling Serbs from their settlements.
There have been such unfounded allegations from the Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia before, which hibrid.info has addressed. (here, here, here, here and here)
Analyze:
The Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia has claimed without evidence that the burning of an auxiliary facility on the property of Ljubisa Doncic in a village in Klina was carried out by "Albanian extremists", and that such an act is a continuation of the pressure and intimidation of Serbs in Kosovo.
In addition to the fact that the purpose and perpetrators of this crime are unknown, this case is not even found in the 24-hour report issued by the Kosovo Police.
This statement issued by the aforementioned office has also been featured in several Serbian-language media outlets, which also baselessly claim that this act is a continuation of the goal of expelling Serbs from their homes.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses that this article does not provide concrete facts for the claims made and is classified as a "conspiracy theory".
Rating:
"Conspiracy theories" are media reports that disseminate a false or unverifiable description of a phenomenon, event, or person, presenting it as part of or the result of a secret plan ("conspiracy"). A characteristic of these reports is that they present a series of claims, presented as facts, between which cause-effect relationships are established, without providing any credible evidence.
