Investigation into Serbia's Konjuh drug and weapons bust continues; weapons analysis complete

The investigation into a large seizure of marijuana and weapons in the village of Konjuh, near Kruševac, Serbia, continues. Recent reports indicate that ballistics tests on four automatic rifles discovered during the operation have concluded.

According to sources, three of the rifles are domestic Serbian-made, identified as the M-70 model, a Yugoslav and Serbian version of the Soviet AK-47 Kalashnikov. The fourth rifle, a more modern variant, was manufactured in Romania by the Cugir factory. The case is currently being handled by the Republic Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime.

N1 has reached out to the prosecutor's office for confirmation of the ballistics findings but had not received a response by the time of publication. The media outlet Nova.rs previously reported that police raided a property belonging to the company "Florakom" in Konjuh on January 29. They discovered five tons of marijuana and weapons in a warehouse. The owner, Rade Spasojević, an SNS councilor, and his son Nebojša were arrested, along with a worker found in the warehouse. Another individual, found with approximately 100 kilograms of marijuana from Konjuh, believed to be intended for sale in Belgrade, was also arrested. Ivan Dragnić, co-owner of "Alfafarm" from North Macedonia, involved in legal marijuana production and illegal export, was also detained.

Aleksandar Mijajlović, formerly Vulićević, who is currently on the run, is considered the organizer of the group in Serbia. Prosecutors believe he hired Ivan Dragnić to procure marijuana from North Macedonia. Following the Konjuh seizure, North Macedonian police launched a major operation, confiscating around 40 tons of marijuana and arresting several individuals.
