Certificate fact checker from “Meta” in Bosnia speaks of text Slobodna-Bosna): Large producers of manipulation

They're big manipulation producers... I'd say they're leaders in the production of disinformation, but but leaders in their publication, yes”.

So said the chairman of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most serious fact checking platform (fact-checker) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, “Raskrinkavanje”, Darko Brkan, after publishing an extremely controversial text in “Slobodna Bosna”

No facts, no anything to base claims, no nothing; on the basis of a I said-the “Slobodna Bosna” built the supposedly research that she gave for exclusive news that two media outlets in Kosovo have been offered in service of the Serbian state: National and Periscope.

Controversive media Slobodna Bosnaʹ fills pages for the production of false news, manipulation of facts and dezinforms on platform “Raskrinkavanje” of verifying the authenticity of media information and reporting in Bosnia and Herzegovina; platform confirmed by “Meta” (which owns Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp).

This platform on March 12, 2020, had written down as far as “region Slobodna Bosna”, “Alo” and Serbia's infamous “Originalno”, top for false news and mark under “

 In 2024 “Slobodna Bosna” numbers 63 articles “dezinform”, 44 articles “manipulation of facts”, and 15 articles “false warning”.

In 2020 “Slobodna Bosna” numbers 23 articles like “false news sharing”, 36 articles such as “dezination”, and 12 articles such as “manipulation of facts”, beyond other articles like “psyusency, conspiracy theory”.

Nationale interviewed the director of this fact-control platform led by first-hand professionals certified by Meta, as well as members of the European Network of Checkers.

“produce disinformats... unverified things... for stress... suspicious content for credibility... just what you can do to survive”, He told the Nacional woman asked about the Slobodna Bosna.

My assessment would be that they're mostly going to have articles that are suspicious of credibility, but the more they want sensitivities using unconfirmed sources; and they copy resources from other sources, and they mostly publish sensationalally for clicks as much as”, He told me.

With Master Dejona Mihali in charge of power, they give élobodna Bosnaʹ since yesterday for allegedly credit media from where, with political directives, they sent him to read the article on Radio Television of Kosovo without interference.

Numerous journalists and editors distanced themselves from the text into question, some of them feeling publicly ashamed of what happened yesterday in the public broadcaster.

We asked Brkan, is it done that such as the Balkan media landscape that Slobodna Bosna accepted text by custom?

“This is a very common practice among the BiH media where they allegedly receive a source for being informed and usually different people assemble different deninforms. And that's quite the usual thing for domestic political issues in Bosnia, political gossip or unverified resources of no creditable and without any record being published as an exclusive story. It's very common here. Slobodna Bosna has not been disfellowshipped, made earlier like many other media”, he told us.

That such a thing may have been the case with the Kosovo government, for Bdfin “it's not at all peaceful”; given the intensity of distributions and standing behind that junk text, nothing journalistic and professional, for evidence not to speak.

“This is also the common way of placing (impression) dezinformation. We here in the region have often seen, where political actors from one country, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, assemble a piece of information in another country and distribute it in their own countries... so claiming that news as creditable because when the news comes from another country it looks more creditable than publishing it in your country.”, he continued.

“Slobona Bosna is a major producer of manipulations of different media, I wouldn't say it's in the top of those who produce their own pieces of dezinformation, but publishing the dezinforms is their thing. But they do not produce disinfectants themselves. That's for sure. They're not the leaders of the dezinform production, but their publication, yes.”, he concluded in an answer to Nacional.
