Record 40-Tonne Cannabis Haul Found in North Macedonia

Authorities in North Macedonia seized a record 40 tonnes of cannabis after inspections at licensed medicinal companies uncovered significant discrepancies, suggesting illegal distribution, with links to a recent Serbian seizure of five tonnes of marijuana and weapons. A joint investigation involving police, prosecutors, customs, and health inspectors is ongoing, and officials, including the Prime Minister, indicated the Serbian case is likely part of the same network originating from North Macedonia.
