Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has claimed that official Pristina is expected to take action in the north, in an attempt to take control of the Valač electricity transformer station.
Vučić claimed without evidence that, as he stated, Pristina will attempt to do this under the pretext of charging for electricity in northern Kosovo, where the Serb population constitutes the majority.
Vučić's statement given to the Serbian News Agency "Tanjug", translated into Albanian:
"I said that it is possible that this will happen on November 6, due to reports with the operators there, supposedly looking for a reason to pay for electricity in the north. But they will try to use this reason, I am almost certain, at some point to achieve political goals that have nothing to do with energy," Vučić said.

Days ago, Vučić had claimed without evidence that he was certain that the Kosovo Government was waiting for November 6th and was planning an action to take over the "Valaci" transformer station.
Even then, the hibrid.info staff had verified that article, the link to which can be found below.
Analyze:
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has claimed without evidence that after November 6, Pristina will attempt to take over the Valač transformer station near Zvečan, according to him, this will be done under the pretext of charging for electricity in the north of the country.
These claims of the Serbian president are not based on a single reference, but rather all of these are only rumors and are not argued with any facts.
Based on this fact check, the hibrid.info team decides to assess these articles, Vučić's claims, as "conspiracy theories".
Reasoning:
"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.
