A post in the form of an image was shared on social media Facebook with the caption "Vučić: The government is formed by the Srpska List together with the opposition."
This post was published yesterday (February 10) on Facebook by the pages “Kosovo Report","Albanian News”And“Newspaper 17 February".
The truth?
After research conducted by hibrid.info, it was proven that this claim is false.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on Monday indeed said that the Serbian List had scored a “big and important victory for Serbia” in the February 9 parliamentary elections in Kosovo, saying it showed “the strong commitment of the Serbian people to preserving their homeland and relying on their Serbia.” (see article (Radio Free Europe)
As for the formation of the government in Kosovo, Vucic said that "does not want" to speculate or "interfere in inter-Albanian relations", but that anyone who would form a government with Albin Kurti "would be politically dead".
So, in no case has the Serbian president stated that the government of Kosovo is formed by the Serbian List together with the opposition, as falsely claimed in the posts of the aforementioned pages.
Vučić on his profile on Instagram wrote that he is grateful to the team of the Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia for everything they have done to win all ten mandates from the Serbian List.
Analyze:
The claim that Vučić has stated that the Serbian List and the opposition will form the government in Kosovo is false.
Regarding this issue, Vučić has said that anyone who would form a government with Kurti "would be politically dead."
