Niš Fortress
„Mene zovu ovi ljudi, kažu: ’Ajde, molim te, demantuj da gori tvrđava’. Ajde, bre, kažem, ćuti, bre, budalo, ne pričaj gluposti. […] Kaže: ’Evo ti fotografija’. Ja kažem: ’Pa to ti je veštačka inteligencija’“ (N1) · „Ja ću sutra ili prekosutra da zapalim svoje auto na slici i videćete kako gori moj auto“ · „Jesu palili baklje. Ali to nije požar“ (Alo) / „Oni jesu palili baklje na Tvrđavi, ali kakve to veze ima sa požarima?“ (Južne vesti)
“These people call me and say: ‘Come on, please deny that the fortress is burning.’ Come on, I say, shut up, you fool, don’t talk nonsense. […] He says: ‘Here’s a photo.’ I say: ‘Well, that’s artificial intelligence’” (N1) · “Tomorrow or the day after I’ll set my own car on fire in a picture and you’ll see my car burning” · “They did light flares. But that is not a fire” (Alo) / “They did light flares on the Fortress, but what does that have to do with fires?” (Južne vesti)
Said live on TV Informer (“Kolegijum” show) on the evening of 7 Oct 2026, before 23:51. The clip was posted by Niš TV. According to media transcripts, the speaker claims the photo of the fire is “artificial intelligence” while admitting that flares were lit.

The key sentence “Well, that’s artificial intelligence” was verified verbatim in N1 and Alo (and in the Niš TV reel caption). The flares sentence differs between transcripts (Alo / Južne vesti) — we give both until the broadcast recording is checked. Alo paraphrases: “the picture was made with artificial intelligence and there was no real fire”.
Headline: “People believed Niš Fortress burned” — Vučić showed how he sees a war of fake images. The same article also quotes “They did light flares. But that is not a fire”.
Aleksandar Vučić rekao je na Informer televiziji da se društvenim mrežama širila fotografija koja je trebalo da pokaže da Niška tvrđava gori, ali da je, prema njegovim rečima, slika napravljena pomoću veštačke inteligencije i da stvarnog požara nije bilo.
Ova izjava predstavlja do sada najdrskije ruganje istini, zdravom razumu i inteligenciji građana Niša.
Filmed from the opposite bank of the Nišava: a lit bridge at the left edge, fireworks above the Fortress, red flares along the rampart and flames on it.
Snsovci zapalili nišku tvrđavu prilikom bakljade i vatrometa
A follower’s video: firefighters putting out the fire on the rampart. Firefighters on the scene are a detail an AI fabrication would have to invent and match across all other videos — and the firefighters themselves confirmed the fire to N1 (M-05).
Vatrogasci gase požar koji je, kako pojedini mediji pišu, nastao tokom bakljade pristalica Srpske napredne stranke na Niškoj Tvrđavi. Čekamo još informacija. Snimak poslao pratilac našeg profila.
