Following the daily activities for the prevention of smuggling and other cross-border criminal offences, Kosovo Police, specifically the Fast Intervention Unit of the Border Police, BRD-North, during patrolling in the border zone between the Republic of Kosovo and Serbia, noticed a white van Mercedes Sprinter with Serbian license plates, which was suspected of using the road that is not authorized for border crossing.

The police patrol tried to stop it by turning on the rotation and the flashing light, but it did not stop and tried to run away from the Police.

After active operational actions, the Police managed to stop the vehicle at the entry of Leposaviq and during the control the driver of the vehicle, the male suspect with the initials R.K. (1973), was also identified.

During the inspection, it was found that over 3,700 kilograms of various meats, worth over 20 thousand euros, were being transported in the vehicle (van) and there was no document on the origin of the goods.

The vehicle has been escorted and handed over to the border authorities in Leposavic to proceed with further procedures.
