PRISTINA, April 2 (Hina) - The Pristina-based daily Koha Ditore said on
Friday that its report on the possible appointment of Russian diplomat
Igor Ivanov as UN Civil Administrator and American Richard Holbrooke
as his deputy, published on Thursday, 1 April, was an All Fools' Day
joke.#L#
Koha Ditore said the false report misled not only its readers but also
the audience of the electronic media which carried the report, into
believing that there would be the changes in UN Mission personnel. The
daily added that similar jokes were published by a number of prominent
media companies in the world.
A spokeswoman for the Kosovo government, Mimoza Kusari, said today
that the article from Thursday's issue of Koha Ditore also surprised
government members.
