Sheholli Case: Bytyçi Calls for Investigation into Suspected Network of People Paid by Serbia’s BIA in Kosovo

Following the public disclosure of details from the indictment against Fatmir Sheholli, Professor Enver Bytyçi reacted sharply, expressing suspicion that the case may represent only one part of a broader Serbian propaganda scheme in Kosovo.

In his response sent to “Bota Sot,” Bytyçi called on the justice authorities to expand the investigation to include other individuals. According to him, they may have received payments through Sheholli to promote Belgrade’s agenda in the media.

Bytyçi says that, according to the investigation, Fatmir Sheholli paid Milaim Zeka 2,000 euros on behalf of Serbia’s BIA. He claims the payment was presented as being linked to a Western organization and was intended solely to secure the publication of a news story serving Serbian interests in Kosovo.

The professor believes that the prosecutors and investigators handling the Sheholli case could identify, without much difficulty, the individuals who, according to him, were funded by Serbia through Fatmir to promote the Serbian agenda via the media in Kosovo.

He claims that some of them have spoken, and continue to speak to this day, as mouthpieces for Aleksandar Vučić. Bytyçi is calling for published articles and YouTube content to be examined, arguing that they could reveal the analysts, journalists and media outlets paid by Belgrade.

He also suggests examining which individuals accuse, for example, the newspaper “Bota Sot” of being a Serbian newspaper, claiming that these very accusers are funded by the BIA.

Concluding his response, Bytyçi says that a spy in Kosovo or Albania can be easily identified because, according to him, they expose themselves.
