Two alleged crime bosses are reportedly among at least 30 people detained at several locations across Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday, in what appears to be a major police offensive against organised crime.

Police officials from the State Investigation and Protection Agency, SIPA, and  Republika Srpska Interior Ministry, confirm that a coordinated operation started in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

They said that almost all of Bosnia’s police agencies will participate in the ongoing operation, which is being  coordinated with Serbian police, they added.

The two purported crime bosses allegedly head organised crime groups that are believed to be involved in drug and weapons trafficking. One was arrested in the eastern suburbs of Sarajevo, while the other was arrested in the north-eastern Bosnian town of Bijeljina, local media reported, citing police sources.  Their identities have yet to be officially revealed by police.

A number of police officials were also among those detained, they said.
