The information portal "ntv.al" has published (April 2) an article titled "4000 are ready for war, being trained at the border on Vučić's orders".

Based on the attached image, it is understood that this is a statement from the Minister of Internal Affairs, Xhelal Sveçla.

But, after verifying the content of this article by hibrid.info, it was understood that Minister Sveçla said that "Around 400 Serbian extremists are being trained in areas around the border with Kosovo", which is also confirmed by the minister's interview, on which this article is based.

Based on some of the comments on the publication of this article on the "ntv.al" portal's Facebook page, the incorrect presentation of the number (4000) in the title can be read as obvious.

The article was also published attached to an image on Facebook by this portal's page, which has 167 thousand followers (see here).

Some of the comments published on the image along with the article in question:


 After researching using search engines, hibrid.info found the interview with Minister Sveçla, published on the official channel of the "News24 Albania" television on YouTube, from which his statement presented in the article was based.

Both from the title and from the 25th second of the video, it becomes clear that Svečla was talking about 350-400 Serbian extremists who are being trained in the areas around the border (see here).


Analyze:

The number of Serbian extremists being trained for war declared by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Xhelal Sveçla, was incorrectly presented in the title of an article.

Minister Sveçla spoke of 400 such people, not 4000, as the title of the article published by the information portal "ntv.al" indicates.

Based on the working methodology, hibrid.info evaluates this content as "Error".
