The Herceg Novi police arrested a Serbian citizen SK (36) with temporary residence in Herceg Novi, on suspicion of committing the criminal offense of forging a document, the Police Directorate (UP) announced.

According to the police, during the vehicle inspection, he gave the police officers an ID card and driver's license in the name of DL, a Croatian citizen.

"Police officers doubted the authenticity of the attached documents, after which they took further measures and actions, which determined that these were forged documents that SK is suspected of having obtained during 2025 and used as documents allegedly issued by the competent authorities of the Republic of Croatia," the UP statement said.

The police add that SK was forwarded to the competent state prosecutor at the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Herceg Novi for further jurisdiction within the legal deadline.

"Also, during an inspection of the vehicle driven by SK, a certain amount of cocaine was found, which is why a request was filed against him to initiate misdemeanor proceedings for violations under Article 52 of the Law on the Prevention of Drug Abuse," the statement concludes.
