What happened
The Facebook page "Tana t'zezat" allegedly posted three AI-generated videos purporting to show expatriates at Pristina Airport saying they would not vote for Albin Kurti. The videos reportedly mimicked street-interview footage by using microphones styled to resemble Kosovo television broadcasters Klan Kosova and T7, and were reportedly assessed as highly likely to be AI-generated.
