Bulgaria’s border police are conducting a specialized operation against drug trafficking on the territory of Blagoevgrad region, BNR’s correspondent Keti Trencheva reports.
The operation targeted cannabis fields in places high up in the mountain which are extremely difficult of access, mostly in deforested areas where cannabis is difficult to distinguish. Five such fields have been found so far. More than 600 kilograms of cannabis, which will be ready for picking in approximately one week’s time, are expected to be destroyed. Eight people have been detained and 14 pre-litigation procedures have been launched.
