In recent days, we’ve encountered a concerning wave of disinformation aimed directly at undermining our efforts and, more broadly, the integrity of Kosovo. These attacks, traced back to official sources in Belgrade and their intelligence services, have involved attempts to infiltrate our organization with deliberately misleading documents.
These so-called ‘compromising’ documents, crafted with the intent to deceive, were presented in Serbian and carried a clear bias against Kosovo. They were designed to sow discord and tarnish the reputation of our nation’s esteemed figures.
At the Octopus Institute, we pride ourselves on our resilience and our commitment to truth. We are fully aware of the tactics employed by these entities and refuse to be swayed by their deceitful strategies. However, the situation has raised significant concerns as efforts to disseminate these falsehoods have extended beyond our institute, targeting media outlets and other organizations.
We are taking this moment to reaffirm our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism. Our team is working diligently to counter these disinformation campaigns and to protect the public discourse from being polluted by propaganda.
We call upon our community, partners, and the media to remain vigilant against such malicious attempts to undermine our collective security and well-being. Together, we stand united in our pursuit of truth and in our defense against those who seek to divide us.
