"I stress that the destruction of narcotics that have been seized is only done after the court proceedings have ended - more precisely, after the final judgment has been passed in specific cases - and that it is being carried out continuously. 998 kilograms have already been destroyed in the thermal power plant this year, while another 880 kilograms of various types of narcotics are destroyed today," Kovacevic said, recalling that this type of incineration is carried out in quantities of up to one ton at a time, primarily for environmental reasons.

Kovacevic recalled that about 7.2 tons of narcotics have been seized during police operations this year - a record amount, and stressed that this was the product of extremely high quality and good work of members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
