The Interior Ministry said Saturday it is conducting a large-scale operation as part of which it has seized a significant amount of marijuana. Around nine tons of marijuana and over 1300 bottles of cannabis oil have been discovered and confiscated from a legal entity in Skopje. Over 31 tons of marijuana and biomass have also been seized from legal entities in the eastern part of the country.

Given that one of the suspects and detained persons in Serbia is part of the ownership structure of the company from Skopje from which the nine tons of marijuana were seized, detailed checks and controls have been carried out on the quantity found in the company and the complete documentation found in the premises of the legal entity.

At the same time, inspections were carried out in several legal entities in the eastern region, where the competent commission also determined irregularities and non-compliance with the quantities that the companies own, produce, procure and dispose of, after which the found quantity was confiscated.
