Five More Serbians Snared in Cocaine Bust
Belgrade | 21 October 2009 | Bojana Barlovac
The cocaine, intended for the European market, was seized last week in a joint counter-narcotics operation involving Serbia's BIA security service and the US Drug Enforcement Agency.
The operation, dubbed Balkan Warrior, had been in its preparatory stages for the last two months and involved narcotics officers from Argentina, the US, Uruguay and Serbia.
Uruguayan media reports say the drugs were seized on board an English-flagged yacht in the port of Santa Lucia, 25km to the west of the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo.
One Uruguayan and one Serbian national were reportedly arrested in Uruguay while trying to get the drugs onto a ship bound for western Europe. Uruguayan media reported that the Serbian citizen was carrying a Polish passport.
According to daily Blic, Serbian police and the BIA are seeking the organiser of the smuggling operation, who is understood to be a businessman from Montenegro.




Radovan Karadzic, Sarajevo is not your city, and you have no right to say that it is, just as you do not have the right to say in public, even if it’s in court, that someone has dug up bones around Bosnia and brought them to Srebrenica to make a fake graveyard. This is insulting.
