BELGRADE (Reuters) - Alleged Balkan drugs boss Darko Saric, who surrendered to Serbian police last week after almost five years on the run, denied on Monday any involvement in trafficking cocaine from Latin America to Europe.

Saric, one of the most wanted figures in the crime-riddled Balkan region, faces 13 indictments including the trafficking of 5.7 tonnes of cocaine from Latin America and the laundering of 22 million euros in Serbia.
