Serbian law enforcement officers have stopped a truck with more than 2,000 antiques at the Srpska-Crnja checkpoint. This was reported by the customs department of the Serbian Ministry of Finance.

On the night of December 29, customs officers stopped a car with Romanian numbers driven by a 46-year-old Serbian citizen.

However, during the search, customs officials found undeclared artifacts related to the Bronze Age, the Byzantine period, the Middle Ages, as well as ancient Slavic and Celtic artifacts.

In total, the contraband shipment contained 2,113 items, including pendants, rings, tools, weapons, including spearheads, arrows, axes, and a mace.

After the arrest, the truck driver said that the antiques found did not belong to him. He claims that he brought them from Ukraine for a fee. In Serbia, they would contact him and give him further instructions.
