As we found out, the police had an eye on Mitrovic for a long time, who avoided arrest several times. The inspectors working on this case thought about the situation really carefully and they arrested the priest.
- Mitrovic was in a car "Opel Astra" when the arrest occurred which were under Krusevac license plates, and he was in civilian clothes. He was stopped by traffic patrol, for a routine check. The police officers first tested if he was drinking, but they sensed marijuana in the car, they did narcotics test. The priest became nervous and he tried to avoid the testing saying that he is a priest - the source explains and the test showed that the young priest was positive for drugs.
The source close to the investigation told Alo! that the police officers searched the priest and the car.
- They found packages of cannabis and amphetamine under the driver's seat which were for sale.
