Hrvatski glasnik reveals how the fabricated story about 300,000 euros became a tool in a political-ideological clash, casting Thompson as the villain.
Over the past few hours, a story has been spreading massively on social media claiming that tennis player Novak Djokovic donated 300,000 euros to Omis, with a cynical comparison to musician Marko Perkovic Thompson, who, as claimed, only offered the city "one prayer." In an analysis published on August 16, 2026, Hrvatski glasnik exposes this story as a classic pattern of hybrid warfare and fake news operations.
There is no official confirmation of this donation. The city of Omis has not received such a donation, nor has any relevant source published such information. This is a fabricated story spread by trolls and bots with the aim of turning a lie into truth.
The story spreads through Facebook posts in Serbian, which then end up on X and among Croatian users. It was Croatian users who added the comparison with Thompson and "one prayer," turning a simple lie into a clearly politically and ideologically charged narrative.
The figure and the name are fabricated, and 300,000 euros seems convincing enough for careless social media users to believe without verification. In the style of Seselj's saying, they bit like catfish on a lure, comments Hrvatski glasnik.
The analysis states that this is a tried-and-tested leftist pattern: find an ideological target and link it to a disaster. Thompson is the ideal villain, and Djokovic the hero. When facts do not support the story, leftist profiles simply invent facts.
The fictional Djokovic becomes a political tool, Omis the backdrop, and Thompson the villain in a story created by others. The only real goal remains the old ideological conflict, according to the analysis.
