An AI-generated video is circulating among citizens, urging immediate investment, but it's a scam.
A fake video of Croatian President Zoran Milanović has begun circulating on social media, in which he allegedly urges citizens to invest and promises earnings of €12,000. The video is AI-generated and aims to trick people into falling for a scam.
In the fake video, Milanović-or rather his digitally generated likeness-says: "Anyone who registers an account today will earn €12,000..." Viewers are told they have a chance to earn thousands of euros, but only if they act immediately, which is a classic online scam pattern.
On August 12, 2026, Dnevnik.hr published a warning about this fake video to prevent citizens from believing its content. The video was shared with a clear message: "Don't fall for it."
Experts have long warned about the rise of AI-generated deepfake content that abuses the likenesses of public figures. Such videos often push for quick financial decisions, promising unrealistic returns in a short time.
It's clear from the post itself that the content is fake, and citizens are advised not to share the video or enter personal or banking details on any promoted websites.
The article was published in Dnevnik's most-read news section, alongside other current topics such as the intensified search for two people missing at sea near Senj. The fake Milanović video has thus gained additional visibility, increasing the risk of reaching a wider audience.
