The article gives no separate date for the control and arrest; 7 November 2026 is its publication date and is used as the incident date.
No separate weight or count is given for the marijuana, only several PVC packages of cocaine and marijuana together, so no cannabis kilograms are recorded and cocaine and tablet quantities are left out as out of scope.
No outcome beyond the prosecutor-ordered deprivation of liberty was reported; charges before a court and detention decisions remain unknown.
Only one account of this arrest, citing the Police Administration, could be opened; no second independent source was found.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Vijesti: The Police Directorate said officers in the Bijela neighbourhood stopped D.T. and that he tried to swallow the PVC bag of cocaine, which officers prevented him from doing.
