HIBRID

A Facebook account named "Shemsi Pllana" has published an image showing Albin Kurti, the Prime Minister of Kosovo, and former Prime Minister of Serbia, Vojislav Kostunica, in the presence of each other.

The image was published in a public Facebook group, with 4,600 members, called "Diaspora with PDK" (see here).

After research conducted through online search engines, hibrid.info has managed to find the original image, confirming that the published photo is edited.

The same image was published earlier on social media and was handled by hibrid.info (see here and here).

After searching through the automated online program “InVID”, hibrid.info has found the real image published on the online photo uploading platform “GettyImages”, in which Prime Minister Kurti is not seen. The found photo, taken in 2005, actually shows former Serbian politician Vojislav Kostunica together with former Serbian general, Vladimir Lazarevic (see here).


Analyze:

The image showing Prime Minister Albin Kurti in the presence of former Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica is edited.
