How it was verified

Time computed from the shortcode (media ID 4001378607295770915). Independent confirmation: S-03 is a screen recording of this reel (“podizanje_svesti · Original audio” is visible), and S-03 was verifiably posted at 19:39:25 — so this reel existed before then.

The author of S-02 records their phone screen while playing the original fire video in the gallery (iPhone Photos app). The gallery header shows “Ponedeljak [Monday] · 19:26” — the day and time the original was recorded. In the frame: large flames along the rampart, the lamp post with a ring, a flag, the crowd (position B, the Fortress Bridge). An inset shows a clip of the President from the “Kolegijum” show (TV Informer). The phone’s status bar shows 22:20 — when the screen recording was made.

Pitanje za naprednjake koji su, kao i ja, bili ispred Niške tvrđave: kako se osećate dok slušate Acu kako laže?🤔 #niš #srbija #sns #ćaci
A question for SNS supporters who, like me, were in front of Niš Fortress: how do you feel listening to Aca [Vučić] lie? 🤔 #niš #srbija #sns #ćaci

A photo from the crowd on the Fortress Bridge: flames along the top of the rampart, red flare smoke, a lamp post with a coiled cable, a blue sign, a Serbian flag — the same landmarks as S-02, probably a still from that video.

Ni Turci, ni Austrougari, ni bilo koji drugi okupatori nisu zapalili nišku Tvrđavu. Naprednjacima je uspelo. Varvari!
Neither the Turks, nor the Austro-Hungarians, nor any other occupier burned Niš Fortress. The SNS managed it. Barbarians!
