Such messages are distributed through social networks and hostile telegram channels. They say that US officials are inciting Serbia to take military action designed to protect Serbs in the territory of Kosovo, a partially recognized state. However, this is not true.

According to the EU vs Disinfo fact-checkers, there is no evidence that Serbia is preparing for a war under the US protectorate.

A recent tension between Kosovo and Serbia in 2022 was that the Kosovo government wanted those living in Serbian areas to change their Serbian-issued license plates to Kosovo-issued license plates. About 50,000 people refused to change the license plates of their cars, and this increased the tension between the Serbian and Kosovo governments. With the assistance of the EU, Serbia and Kosovo agreed on measures to avoid further escalation.

The United States welcomed the agreements reached between Kosovo and Serbia to avoid further escalation. That is why the US is not inciting Serbia to escalate.
