The Jovanjica case was a Serbian political scandal. Jovanjica, owned by Predrag Koluvija, was a company that was known for producing organic food until it was raided by police in November 2019 and found to be a large-scale marijuana farm. Koluvija, who had connections to the Serbian Progressive Party, was accused of being the leader of a criminal group that cultivated and sold marijuana with the help of police officers and other intelligence agents. He is currently on trial in two separate cases before the Special Court for Organized Crime in Belgrade.
