A member of the Self-Determination Movement’s leadership, Elvis Hoxha, recently shared a photomontage on Facebook that purported to be the front page of the Serbian newspaper, “Blic.” The fabricated image contained a statement allegedly from Serbian Foreign Minister Marko Gjuriq, suggesting that Gjuriq praised the actions of AAK deputy, Time Kadrijaj. The specific text within the montage read, “Marko Gjuriq Reacts: ‘Time Kadrijaj has shown courage and dignity.’ Gjuriq: This is how the truth is defended.” Hoxha accompanied the post with the caption, “Unwanted praises.”
However, verification efforts have confirmed that the material disseminated by Hoxha is not an authentic front page from the newspaper “Blic.” Instead, it is a manipulated photomontage designed to mimic the appearance of legitimate news coverage. Authorities note that there is no verifiable data to support the claim that “Blic” published such a report, nor is the declaration attributed to Gjuriq deemed authentic.
The dissemination of this manipulated content by the member of the movement highlights the use of fabricated media to create a narrative. The discrepancy between the presented source and the actual publication status is significant. The circulation of this photomontage raises questions regarding the veracity of the reported statements concerning Gjuriq and the alleged praise for Kadrijaj.
