In early July, Armenian police detained several individuals suspected of illegal cannabis possession, marking a modest enforcement action. By the end of July, Albanian authorities carried out two coordinated raids in Vlorë and Sarandë, seizing about 5 kg of cannabis, a small amount of cocaine, a pistol with ammunition, and two vehicles, and arresting four men. The two incidents illustrate a pattern of police operations targeting cannabis and related illicit activities across different Eastern European countries within the same month.
