Kovacevac Cocaine Bust: Two Truck Drivers Indicted
Belgrade prosecutors have indicted two truck drivers over more than 15 kilograms of cocaine found in a truck cab in Kovacevac near Mladenovac, almost five months after the seizure.
The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade (VJT) has indicted Nebojsa S. (40) and Dusan P. (31) on suspicion of unlawfully possessing more than 15 kilograms of cocaine, found for the purpose of sale in the cab of a truck in Kovacevac, near Mladenovac. The VJT announced the indictment on September 11, and the case has been submitted to the Higher Court in Belgrade for confirmation.
Both defendants are charged with the unauthorized production and trafficking of narcotics, acting as co-perpetrators.
The drugs were seized on April 26, 2026, at around 11 a.m., in the village of Kovacevac, within the Mladenovac municipality. The cocaine was found inside the cab of a DAFF-brand truck, on the sleeping bunk, packed in 15 bundles wrapped in stretch film marked “Maserati” with a red logo. The total measured weight of the narcotics came to 15,031.9 grams.
According to the prosecution’s statement, the truck had been parked in a fenced lot used by a transport company. Both defendants worked for that company as drivers.
Prosecutors have asked the court to extend Nebojsa S.’s pretrial detention, to prevent him from reoffending in the near term. For Dusan P., they requested an extension of his house arrest, along with electronic monitoring. They also proposed a safety measure ordering the confiscation of the seized cocaine.
Almost five months passed between the April seizure and the indictment. Tanjug carried the news of the indictment on the morning of September 12, citing the prosecution’s statement.
