Kosovo Police Destroy Cannabis Fields
---
Gjilan_The Kosovo police service, KPS, arrested one person on Friday
suspected to be involved with a group from the Gjilan region cultivating
Cannabis sativa narcotic plants.
This action follows two previous arrests and the discovery of two
Cannabis sativa fields in the village of Kosovic, in the Gjilan area.
“This is the result of intensive operational work and good co-operation
between the KPS units,” Ismet Hashani, KPS spokesperson for Gjilan, told
Balkan Insight.
The KPS anti-drug unit found and removed 1,328 Cannabis sativa plants on
Wednesday from a field covering over one hectare.
A smaller field was discovered on Thursday with another 79 cannabis plants.
Hashani said that the KPS doesn't have information whether the drugs
were planned to be smuggled outside of Kosovo or dedicated to the
domestic drug market.
