Serbia experienced this Thursday the largest seizure of drugs ever made in the country, after the intervention of the police in a house in the village of Konjuh. The drugs were stored there in large quantities and prepared for distribution, according to the Interior Ministry. Two people were arrested during the operation. Law enforcement also discovered four automatic rifles and a portable grenade launcher, suggesting the site was secure and integrated into a larger criminal network. To illustrate the scale of the seizure, Interior Minister Ivica Dačić recalled that all the drugs confiscated in Serbia last year represented around six tonnes, specifying that the marijuana seized was estimated between seven and ten million euros.Investigators believe the site served as a hub for supplying other parts of the country, including Belgrade. The case was entrusted to prosecutors specializing in the fight against organized crime. Serbia is a key link in the Balkan route, serving as a drug storage and redistribution zone to the EU, within a broader regional network.
