Kosovo, cheapest narcotics in region
Kosovo has the lowest street-market prices for narcotics among all Balkan countries and drugs such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin are affordable even for teenagers, Balkan Insight can reveal.
Narcotic prices in the newborn country are the lowest in the region, when compared with prices in neighbouring countries.
Police sources show that a gramme of heroin in Kosovo can be found for as little as 10. In Bosnia and Herzegovina the same quantity of the same drug is priced at between 15 to 25, in Macedonia between 25 and 40, while in Albania and Serbia from 25 upwards.
Cocaine is also cheap in Kosovo where prices for a gramme vary between 50 and 80. In Albania and Serbia it's sold between 70 and 110, while in Macedonia and in Bosnia between 60 and 100.
Albania leads the regional market with cheap marijuana, sold as low as 4 per gramme, whereas in other countries it costs between 5 and 10, according to police.
Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia this February, is a transit route for drugs smuggling into Europe. Its population of some 2 million people is not seen as being a strong market for narcotics.
