Russian-Style Psy-Ops Are Targeting Kosovo
Ilir Mirena and Valon Syla are not reporting the truth. They are deploying Russian-style psychological warfare to fracture Kosovo’s society and undermine its sovereignty.
On a Saturday morning in Ukraine, as I awoke following a second night of relentless Russian bombardment, I came across a short but chilling video segment from Kosovo1. In it, Ilir Mirena, editor-in-chief of the Kosovar outlet Periskopi, was seen making an astonishing claim:
“From Shaban Polluzha to Azem Galica, to today, to the KLA, they provoked Serbia into losing control and committing massacres, so that NATO would intervene.” — Ilir Mirena.
His words were met with tacit approval from Valon Syla, a figure who styles himself a journalist but whose credibility is undermined by his consistent parroting of narratives long rooted in Serbian propaganda.
