The disinformation generated during February 2020 by the Russian Foreign Ministry clearly aims at presenting an obscure picture of the position of the Serbian Community and of inter-ethnic situation in Kosovo. This is done in order to display Kosovo as a state that oppresses minority communities and with high potential for eruption of ethnic violence, as well as to undermine the statehood of, and the support of the West to, Kosovo. The disinformation detected in this period will be discussed and deconstructed in the following section.
The aim of the disinformation generated during the February 2020 by the preselected Serbian media in relation to Kosovo indicates that it is focused on denying war crimes committed by Serbian armed forces during the 1998-1999 conflict, on miscalculating the number of Serbian refugees who left Kosovo after the war, discrediting the leadership and security institutions of Kosovo, as well as the provided Western assistance, and projecting Kosovo and Montenegro as rogue states.
