Balkan Crime Groups Tightening Grip on South American Drug Trade: Report

“Cocaine connections: Links Between the Western Balkans and South America”, a new report launched on Tuesday, highlights the crucial role that organised crime groups coming from Western Balkan countries now play in the trade of trafficked cocaine.
The study, conducted by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Crime and based on extensive research and over 100 interviews conducted between October 2022 and November 2023, highlights the evolution of these criminal organisations and their growing influence.
The research outlines how Western Balkan criminals initially established links in South America in the late-1990s, expanded in the early 2010s, and consolidated their operations by the mid-2010s. Groups such as “Group America”, founded by migrants from the former Yugoslavia, were among the pioneers in drug trafficking.
“By the mid-2000s, local criminal organisations, such as the Darko Saric group, had also started forming direct connections with cocaine suppliers in South America,” the report’s author, Fatjona Mejdini, said in an online presentation.
“The real transformation occurred in the 2010s, when groups like the Montenegrin ‘Kavaci’ and ‘Skaljari’ clans, the Bosnia-based ‘Tito and Dino’ cartel, and Albanian-speaking networks, such as ‘Company Abelo’, gained significant control over the cocaine supply chain,” she added.
The report attributes this expansion to both “push” and “pull” factors. The “pull” factors include the significant rise in cocaine production in South America, which nearly doubled between 2013 and 2017, reaching some 2,000 tonnes by 2020.
Meanwhile, the fragmentation of Colombian drug cartels created new opportunities for foreign actors, enabling Western Balkan criminals to establish direct relationships with local suppliers and bypass intermediaries. The growing demand for cocaine in Europe has also played a crucial role in strengthening their operations.
The “push” factors that have facilitated their expansion stem from the Balkans’ historical role as a transit hub for illegal trade, including arms smuggling and heroin trafficking.
The wars of the 1990s further contributed to the region’s criminal expertise, as former paramilitary members joined organised crime networks. Weak judicial systems and high levels of corruption allowed these groups to operate with impunity, enabling them to expand their operations beyond their home countries into major European drug markets.
Unlike traditional drug cartels, Western Balkan groups have adopted a decentralised operational model in South America, the report explains.
Rather than basing their key leaders in the region, they rely on skilled brokers who work for them on a part-time or full-time basis.
These include fugitives from European law enforcement, designated emissaries representing specific organisations, and business owners involved in legal trade who use their enterprises as fronts for illegal activities.
A key advantage of the groups is their ability to pay cocaine suppliers in cash upfront, making them preferred partners for local producers compared to Mexican cartels, which often rely on barter systems involving weapons or other drugs.
Additionally, these criminals have embedded themselves within South American societies, investing in businesses, laundering money, and maintaining low profiles to avoid detection by authorities.
Western Balkan groups have also leveraged corruption, exploiting weak border monitoring and law enforcement structures. They frequently use forged documents and multiple identities to evade detection, further complicating efforts by authorities to dismantle their networks.

The CDs contain evidence of phone calls and other forms of communication between Serbian police (MUP) officials with Rodoljub Radulović, a member of Šarić’s gang.
RTS has learnt from the Prosecution and the police that the Special Court’s investigative judge issued an order to wiretap phone calls and other communication and conduct a video surveillance of Radulović on November 7, 2008. Radulović is one of the highest-ranking members of the gang.
According to several foreign intelligence services, he was in charge of transporting cocaine from South America to Europe.
The Serbian Prosecution has indicted him for trafficking of more than 1.8 tons of cocaine.
First Deputy Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić has confirmed that he has some information about the ties between state officials and members of Šarić’s gang.
RTS has reported that there are audio recordings of phone calls and meetings between Radulović and MUP officials.
The Prosecution told RTS that a request for collection of information about the suspicious talks would be filed on Monday.
The Prosecution also suspects that former interior minister’s Chief of Staff Branko Lazarević betrayed official secrets. http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2013&mm=02&dd=01&nav_id=84457

Më 11 mars 2025, në Portin e Durrësit, u zbuluan 18.3 ton pule e importuar nga Brazili. Analizat e Institutit të Sigurisë Ushqimore dhe Veterinare (ISUV) konfirmuan se mish i tërë ngarkesës kishte prani të rrezikshme të bakterit Salmonella. Por, në vend që të ndërmerreshin masa urgjente, vetëm 5.2 ton u bllokuan , ndërsa rreth 13.1 ton, të infektuara, u hodhën në treg pa asnjë paralajmerim.
Ky është një akt i qartë krimi ushqimor, që ndodhi nën syrin e autoriteteve dhe me njoftimin e një raporti zyrtar që paralajmëroi për përmbajtjen e salmonelës. Por, se si një masë e tillë e mishit i rrezikshëm, edhe pas paralajmëruar, vazhdoi të shpërndahej në treg, dëshmon se kontrolli dhe përgjegjësia kane deshtuar!
Në qendër të këtij skandali ndodhet AMG FOOD (diMal shpk), një kompani e krijuar në dhjetor të vitit 2019 dhe e drejtuar nga Mondi Goxha. Kjo kompani, e cila pretendon standarde të larta dhe cilësi të garantuar, ka shkelur çdo normë të sigurisë ushqimore duke shpërndarë mish të kontaminuar me vetëdije të plotë. Nëse 13.1 ton nga kjo ngarkesë e rrezikshme ka hyrë në treg, çfarë të presim nga produktet e tjera të njohura që kjo kompani shpërndan?
