This report covers the period from 9 October to 31 December 2025 and focuses on monitoring digital content during a politically sensitive timeframe, including Kosovo’s local elections and the early parliamentary elections. During this period, the analysis concentrated on identifying and categorizing misinformation circulating across online platforms in multiple languages, including Albanian, Serbian, and English. The report provides an overview of key misinformation trends by topic, including disinformation related to electoral processes, fabricated polls, false statements attributed to public figures, and the use of artificial intelligence-generated or manipulated videos. In addition, content with an interethnic dimension has been identified and analysed, with the focus on assessing its potential impact on social polarization and local tensions, particularly in northern Kosovo and in Serb-majority communities.
The report also examines foreign influence referred to as FIMI (Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference), identifying the themes and narratives aimed at shaping public perceptions and influencing the electoral process. Based on systematic digital monitoring, the analysis provides a structured assessment of problematic content, categorizing it according to the nature of the misinformation and its potential impact. This approach not only highlights the types and intensity of misinformation observed during the electoral period, but also underscores the patterns and mechanisms used to polarising interethnic narratives and facilitate external interference, thereby offering a foundation for recommendations and preventive measures in the fields of public information and digital security.
