22 06 2007 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.
At the beginning of 2010 BIRN network published Digging Deeper - A Guide for Investigative Journalists in the Balkans, written in cooperation with Sheila Coronel, Director of the Stabile Center for Investigative Journalism and professor of professional practice at Columbia University, New York.
