A hybrid strategy that simultaneously projects victimhood and heroism. It wraps lamentation and triumphalist framing into a single, calculated narrative designed to deceive and mobilize at the same time. One only needs to observe Vucic’s media ecosystem for a single day to experience the parallel reality of a model that complicates even falsehood itself. According to the political fiction promoted by proponents of the “Serbian World” project, the Office for Kosovo, the Serb List, and the Eparchy of Raska and Prizren: Such illogical interpretations—conceivable only within a chauvinistic mindset intoxicated by the ecclesiastical blessing of past crimes—pursue objectives that are…

Although the recognition of a state falls within the exclusive competence of central government institutions, and the declarations adopted by the municipalities of Zeta and, more recently, Pljevlja on the “withdrawal of recognition” of Kosovo have no legal effect, Serbia continues to use municipalities where it enjoys political influence in Montenegro as part of its broader “Serbian World” project. The coordinator of this operation, Milan Knezevic of the Democratic People’s Party (DNP), has made it clear that the objective is to influence as many municipalities as possible so that these local declarations can eventually be transformed into a binding resolution…

The Allies’ Declaration from the Ankara Summit (7–8 July) demonstrated NATO’s strategic clarity in addressing today’s global security challenges. By reaffirming its “ironclad commitment” to collective defence under Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, the Alliance responded to concerns about a potential transatlantic divide, as well as to threats posed by Russia and Iran, through its “360-degree approach,” which emphasizes deterrence and defence from all directions (The Ankara Summit Declaration). Greater European and Canadian responsibility for a modernized and stronger Alliance, unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, renewed determination that Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons, and the…

While enjoying the sun on the shores of the Aegean Sea, the symbolism of the beach and the wisdom of two distinguished thinkers expose both Vučić and the grand deception surrounding Vidovdan. In a place where differences seemingly disappear, and where Greeks, Albanians, Serbs, and other holidaymakers are united under the same sea and sun, the philosopher of those distant shores, Heraclitus, demonstrated 2,500 years ago that change is an irreversible process and that history, like his river—into which one cannot step twice—cannot be taken back 28, let alone more than 100 years. Much later, thirty-five years ago, Ukshin Hoti…

In the digital context of information warfare, propaganda requires greater sophistication and emotional stimulation. Serbia’s strategy of “victimization” uses false attribution, “mirror accusations,” and the fabrication of threats, aiming to manipulate the truth. Through projection and amplification in the media, its strategic communication consists of internal mobilization, international confusion, and NATO’s alleged “mistake,” with the purpose of legitimizing its militarization and undermining the Republic of Kosovo. False Attribution for Greater Effect At a time when the United States is making the path toward peace in the Balkans clearer through Kosovo’s integration into NATO, Serbia falsifies the statements of an American…

Around 19:45, March 24, 1999. A defining chapter in modern European history began: NATO’s intervention to stop the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Exactly one year after the KLA’s epic resistance in Gllogjan, the democratic world launched its bombing campaign against Milošević’s criminal machinery. It was a difficult consensus, shaped by the liberal imperative to confront a “sovereignty” that was killing, abusing, massacring, and expelling civilians. Today, on the 27th anniversary of the battle against genocide, the struggle against Serbian “victimhood narratives” has become even more challenging. A truth recognized worldwide continues to be distorted by a reversed Serbian narrative: Racak…

A tragedy that began in the Ibar River, where three Albanian children (Egzon Deliu and Avni and Florent Veseli) drowned while being chased by a group of Serbs, on March 17 and 18, 2004, turned into the most severe episode of post-war Kosovo. Investigations classified the case as murder, yet UNMIK never identified the perpetrators. The civic revolt that followed continues to be remembered amid ambiguity and politicization. Calculating on public frustration caused by the delay of political status, “someone” provoked public anger, and the consequences severely affected not only human lives, property, monuments, and religious sites, but also the…

Today, 26 years ago, an organized attack, disguised as “hooliganism,” terrorized Albanians in the north of Mitrovica inside their own homes, using bombs, sniper rifles, automatic weapons, and other arms, under the “watch” of UNMIK Police and French KFOR troops. What witnesses describe as the “night of terror,” between 3 and 4 February 2000, was a “civilian” operation of ethnic persecution through brutal violence and the destruction of homes, leaving 10 people dead, including women, children, and the elderly, 25 wounded, and 93 physically abused. Yet another massacre against Albanians, in order to achieve the planned “result”: their expulsion from…

Why are sanctions the only tool to “discipline” Serbia? By: Arben Fetoshi Just as Milošević in 1998–1999 was refusing international agreements and warnings, “forcing” the world to react with NATO’s “Allied Force, 1999”, his former Minister of Information, Aleksandar Vučić, continues today to evade demands for accountability and constructive conduct regarding destabilizing interference against Kosovo. Serbia persists with its “two-chair policy” (Bieber, 2018), benefiting from the European integration process on the one hand and deepening strategic alignment with Russia and China on the other. Through a strategy that combines “victimization” as deception, aggression framed as “civic reaction,” and attacks through…

Author: Prof. Asoc. Dr. Arben Fetoshi – Director at Institute for Hybrid Warfare “OCTOPUS” First, he blames the Kosovo Police through a BIA report; then he accuses Prime Minister Kurti of using the attack to justify oppression of Serbs; meanwhile he deceives by offering “cooperation” in the investigation process; and in the end, he disappears from the narrative once the indictment exposes, nakedly, the responsibility of his state. This is Aleksandar Vucic, Milosevic’s “hyena,” who orchestrates endless schemes to undermine Kosovo, and who is brutally unmasked for the terrorist attack on the Ibër–Lepenc canal (2024) in Varragë, Zubin Potok. An…
