Open questions the AI reported
No weight, number of packets or street value was published for the marihuana or the speed, so no cannabis quantity or value is recorded.
The reports do not say where the two men were searched; they describe a search (pretres) of each suspect without naming a building.
No charge sheet or court outcome was reported; the two men were in criminal processing and the duty cantonal prosecutor had been notified.
The searches appear to have been carried out around the time of the 00:10 arrest, so when precisely the drugs were found is not clear.
Only local coverage reproducing the interior ministry's statement was available; no separate ministry page could be opened for this case.
The Avaz page photo is captioned only as Police in Vogošća and is not established to show this arrest, so it is linked rather than treated as a cover.
Left out, as its quotation was not found in Crna-hronika.info: The search of Z.R. found and seized a quantity of material resembling marihuana and also speed, a stimulant, police said.
