The group, of which the former minister is also suspected of being a member, is believed to have trafficked and distributed cocaine.
Kosovo Police said 1.6 kilograms of cocaine were seized during the operation, with an estimated street value of around 111,000 euros.
According to police, the operation followed a lengthy investigation conducted using special investigative measures. The investigation is believed to have uncovered how an organized group with a clear structure and hierarchy operated.
For now, these are allegations and arrests; it is up to the judicial authorities to establish whether the suspects are criminally responsible.
