What to watch most in Serbia
- Almost every country separates use, possession and trafficking — and the line between them is a weight, not an intention.
- Being caught with several bags, a scale or cash next to the drug will usually reclassify "use" into "dealing".
- Carrying for a friend counts as your possession. There is no shared-responsibility defence.
