What changed

Minutes after Kosovo MPs elected Vetëvendosje's Dimal Basha as Parliament Speaker, a purportedly AI-generated Facebook video used his likeness to claim he was the father of Kosovo's Ashkali community, a Roma-related minority group that has faced long-running discrimination and political marginalization. The video reportedly received more than 80,000 views in under eight hours.
