The “Sheholli File”: The “Top Secret 2” Document and the Plan to Portray Kosovo as a Radical State

During an examination of Fatmir Sheholli’s seized mobile phone, the Kosovo Special Prosecution Office discovered a document marked “Top Secret 2,” which it describes as containing confidential material.

According to the indictment, the document was found during the examination of an Apple iPhone that also contained thousands of photographs and images. The Prosecution has included it among the evidence related to the espionage charge.

According to the interpretation presented in the indictment, the document outlines a strategy aimed at expanding the influence of religious radicalization in Kosovo and the region.

Under this plan, influential individuals in various fields would be engaged to create a negative image of Kosovo within the international community.

The Prosecution alleges that the document describes a course of action intended to destabilize the Republic of Kosovo and portray it as a radical and extremist state.

According to the indictment, the document also mentions using networks of individuals operating in Kosovo and the region to finance and spread religious activities, as well as to exert influence over public figures and religious leaders.

According to the Prosecution, the aim of this plan was to construct a negative narrative about Kosovo, encourage migration, and influence Western countries’ positions toward it.

The document also describes a long-term objective: creating circumstances in which Kosovo would be viewed internationally as a radicalized and destabilized society.

According to its contents, such a development would serve to create the conditions for a shift in the international stance toward Kosovo and its return to Serbian jurisdiction.

The indictment states that Fatmir Sheholli sent the document to Viktor Makedonija on August 5, 2025.

The Prosecution emphasizes that the document found on Sheholli’s phone was reviewed alongside communications and other materials collected during the investigation.

According to the Prosecution’s claim, the receipt and forwarding of the document, when considered alongside the other evidence, support the suspicion that Sheholli’s actions served to transmit and implement the objectives of Serbia’s intelligence service, the BIA.
