Open questions the AI reported
No separate date for the search was published; 5 November 2026 is the publication date of all three accounts and is used as the incident date.
About 50 grams of cocaine and 238 Lyrica tablets were also seized but are not counted in the cannabis figure; combined drug weights are not used.
A 30-year-old Turkish citizen was brought in with the suspect and tested positive for marijuana, but no arrest of that person was reported.
No court outcome beyond the 72-hour detention and forthcoming investigative-judge hearing was reported.
The English text describes the search warrant as ordered by the State Prosecutor at the Higher State Prosecutor's Office and reports the arrest as made on that office's order, the same account as the Serbian version already cited.
The page's six-photo Police Directorate gallery could not be added to media because the opened page exposes only thumbnail addresses for its images.
IN4S gives no separate date for the search; like the other accounts it published this police statement on 5 November 2026.
IN4S repeats the police's approximate 'almost two kilograms of marijuana' wording, which the report's cited figures and the 1,830-gram breakdown already replace.
The cocaine and Lyrica tablets on the IN4S page are not cannabis and are not counted as cannabis figures.
IN4S credits its single photograph only to the Police Directorate and gives no further caption, so it cannot be shown to differ from the images already linked on the report.
The Kolektiv.me and RTCG pages give no separate date for the search; both were published on 5 November 2026, the date the report already uses.
RTCG reproduces the Police Directorate statement in full and adds no facts beyond it.
