The media in Serbia have once again turned to fake news. This time, the target was the former Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and American businessman Milan Panić.
The news was even published by the state portal of Serbian Radio Television, with an extensive biography of Panić.
However, a couple of hours later, it was “broken” that it was a false story, supposedly placed by the Italian journalist Tomasso Debenedeti, who once caused a sensation by announcing that he also released the news of the death of the convict of The Hague Ratko Mladic.
This time, he did so from a fake Twitter account of the new Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Selaković.
Shortly after this news was published, in the same Twitter profile it was said that it was a hoax, and that the owner of the profile was this Italian journalist.
Information from the same profile was once shared that Russia’s foreign minister will come to Serbia on November 16.
