Croatian Police Burn Over 2 Tonnes of Narcotics

Interior Minister Davor Božinović said that the amount of drugs seized was proof of good cooperation between relevant state authorities. He said that drug abuse was a global problem, especially in Europe which has become the main market for some types of drugs, notably cocaine.

“The fact that this is the second drug incineration this year shows the magnitude of the challenge we are all facing. The illegal market is very large, there are many interests of criminal groups, and our job is to be as efficient as possible,” Božinović said.

“The present campaign by criminal groups is the result of the opening of communications that were closed for a while due to the pandemic,” he added.

Božinović said that the government’s goal was to increase prevention and “lead as many young people as possible, especially those in their formative years, away from this evil.”

Over the past ten years, Croatia has incinerated over 20 tonnes of seized narcotics. About 500 kilos of cocaine was incinerated in July this year.
