A shipment of 100 kilograms of marijuana was intercepted on the Macedonian – Bulgarian border near Strumica. A Bulgarian trucker was trying to transport the drugs into Bulgaria when he was caught by border guards.

The 48 year old man is being charged. Macedonia is a growing marijuana source country, as the Zaev regime led a huge expansion of marijuana plantations, awarding licences to family members and cronies. The drug is being grown for cannabis oil production, but theft at plantations and other forms of abuse are being reported.
