Twenty kilos of heroin seized at border “The heroin was found in a Mercedes with Dutch license plates in which two Dutch citizens of Turkish descent were traveling,” Dacic said, adding that both men are 27 years old. He added that the drugs were hidden in special compartments between the back seat and the trunk of the car. “They were traveling from Turkey to Holland, which is another confirmation of the ‘Balkan route’ for heroin passing through our region, a route which according to American security services distributes 80 percent of all heroin to Western Europe coming from Afghanistan and other eastern countries,” Dacic said.
