Data show that 150,000 tonnes of meat from dead animals leak to the market in neighboring Serbia each year, bringing in about 300m euros in profits on the black market.

In Serbia, there is a well-established illegal network in which meat from slaughterhouses reaches stores without being checked.

Thus, every year, out of 250,000 tons of meat from dead animals, at least 150,000 tons of meat fall on the Serbian table.

With an average price of two euros per kilogram of meat for the typical Serbian pate and burger, it turns out that a business that runs this type of trade can earn up to 300m euros a year.

"All this is possible thanks to the sinister legislation," said Serge Ame, director of the Belgian Green Plant, who opened a huge plant near Belgrade last year.

Belgium is currently suing Serbia for failing to comply with a bilateral agreement on the disposal of animal waste.

Faced with international arbitration, the Serbian government has set up a special investigation team. This led to the arrest of two people whose butchers found a ton and a half of meat from dead cows and horses.

"I would describe all this as an assassination attempt," the chairman of the veterinary chamber, Dr Sasa Stokic, told the Serbian press.

The meat of dead animals is extremely dangerous to humans, but its sale has already become a vicious practice.

When animals are slaughtered, they must have vital functions so that their internal organs can be removed. The organs must be removed within half an hour of the animal's death - otherwise the meat becomes dangerous for consumption.

Inspectors from the Kyustendil region monitor the import of pork mainly because of African swine fever in the district.

The outbreak appeared in Poland, and so far no case has been registered in Bulgaria.

The disease is a viral disease, but it is not dangerous to humans. Antiviral drugs are used against it.
