Controversial news articles have been published in Albanian-language media regarding the election results at polling station number 6 in Trnovec, Bujanovac.
Several media outlets have published news that Shaip Kamberi, a candidate from the "Coalition of Albanians" party from the Presheva Valley, has managed to obtain results that secure him the position of deputy in the Serbian Parliament.
However, these claims have been rejected by the candidate for deputy in the Serbian Parliament, Shaip Kamberi.
Based on research conducted by hibrid.info, the portal "Presheva.al" was the first to report that Shaip Kamberi had won the mandate of deputy in the Serbian Parliament, but this claim is not based on any facts.
Link to the article published on the portal "Presheva.al":
The content of this media outlet's article does not present any facts that could prove the claim about the result, such as data from the Central Election Commission of Serbia, or any measurement by any organization (exit poll).
Kamberi has interpreted the election results in a way that seems to favor the opponents.
"This time I must say that it is not the Serbian state, but, I quote the late President Ibrahim Rugova, it is the devils in our ranks who made this representation impossible. Six votes in the all-Albanian Trnoc were given for the SPS and 10 other votes are invalid, which are in the function of the Socialist Party of Serbia and Ivica Dacic. Unfortunately, this is how it happened," Kamberi said in an interview given for the "Special Edition" show. in Klan Kosova. (see here)
The "Presheva.al" article with this claim has also been published by several online media in the Albanian language. (see here, here and here).
Analyze:
The portal "Presheva.al" has published an article claiming that Shaip Kamberi has won a mandate as a deputy in the Serbian Parliament, but this claim has not been based on any facts.
The article does not contain any official data from either the Central Election Commission of Serbia or any measurement by any organization (exit poll).
However, this was rejected by Kamberi himself during an interview with Klan Kosova, who interpreted the election result as seemingly in favor of the opponents, indicating that he did not achieve enough votes to secure a seat in the Serbian Parliament.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info assesses this article as "Fake News".
Reasoning:
The "Fake News" rating is given to media reports that are entirely the product of a medium that itself contains factually incorrect claims or information.
Content that is considered fake news can be reliably determined to have been created and distributed with the intent to misinform the public, i.e., to present a claim that is completely false as fact.
