Cigarette smuggling at Serbia-Bulgaria border

Cigarette smuggling

Cigarette smuggling at the Serbian-Bulgarian border is frequent, and the Bulgarian customs officers at the Kalotina-Gradina crossing have in the past two days confiscated over 5,500 cigarette packs with Serbian excise stamps on them.

The Bulgarian customs officers Monday found 4,150 cigarette packs in a minibus with Bulgarian licence plates trying to enter Bulgaria.

The cigarettes produced in Serbia were hidden in the roof of the vehicle, the Bulgarian Customs Administration has stated.

The vehicle was driven by a Bulgarian citizen H.M. (32) from Sofia.

A day earlier at the same crossing, the customs officers found 1,400 cigarette packs with Serbian excise stamps on them.

The vehicle was entering Bulgaria, and it was driven by a 40-year-old Srdjan V.

Bulgaria has the highest excise duties on tobacco in the Balkans. Smuggling therefore became a lucrative business for the unemployed Bulgarians, but also for the Serbian citizens who consider it an easy profit.

Cigarettes are mainly smuggled from Macedonia, Serbia, Moldova, Greece, Turkey and Romania.
