Customs officers at the Bllacë border point successfully stopped a smuggling operation involving 120 kilograms of shisha intended for water pipes. The illicit shipment was valued at 384,000 denars and was destined for distribution within North Macedonia. A Macedonian citizen was responsible for concealing the product within his luggage.
