Malagurski spreads misinformation that Denmark has withdrawn recognition of Kosovo

Serbian propagandist Boris Malagurski published a fake CNN graphic on the social network X, falsely claiming that Denmark had withdrawn its recognition of Kosovo and apologized to Serbia.

What Malagurski published:

"Denmark withdraws recognition of Kosovo, apologizes to Serbia," using the CNN Politics design and logo.

"The Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, today announced that the Kingdom of Denmark withdraws its recognition of Kosovo as an independent state and confirms the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia. Denmark was among the first countries to recognize Kosovo's declaration of independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, but its leadership now says this was a mistake."

Analysis:

In a short period of time, this post had over 180,000 views and was shared massively as an assumption that international support for Kosovo is weakening.

However, such news has never been published in CNN, nor is there any official decision by the Danish government to withdraw recognition of Kosovo. On the contrary, Denmark recognized Kosovo in 2008 and this recognition has never been questioned.

On CNN's official website, as well as in their political news archive, there is no text confirming Malagurski's claims.

Kosovo and Denmark have deepened cooperation over the years through many agreements, and in 2022 the Agreement on the Use of Prison Capacities (Prison Cooperation Agreement) was signed.
