Serbian customs and police officers discovered last Saturday about 100 archaeological objects in a van searched at the
Horgos border crossing in the north being carried by a pastry shop owner from the
town of Pozarevac in eastern Serbia, ('
Smuggler attempts to leave country with 100 artifacts', B92 January 19, 2015)
Seven Serbian citizens were traveling from Pozarevac to Vienna, Austria, in the Mercedes van with Austrian license plates.
The artefacts were found in a plastic bag, wrapped in newspaper, and
include 77 metal coins, 20 stone objects with reliefs, and five metal
objects "reminiscent of spear tips, neck ornaments, and buckles."
The suspect, who was driving the van, said that he received the objects
"from an acquaintance in Vienna" and took them to Pozarevac, but that,
"because nobody took them over," he decided to return them to Austria.
