In a speech in the evening, Prime Minister Milojko Spajic announced a three-day national mourning, on January 2, 3 and 4.
Referring to “a fight in a restaurant, during which weapons were drawn, and which degenerated”, Mr. Spajic also announced new restrictions to come on the possession of firearms.
“This tragedy raises the question of who can have weapons in Montenegro,” he added.
-The police assure in their press release that this shooting was “not the result of a confrontation between groups belonging to organized crime”.
Organized crime and corruption have long plagued Montenegro, and the town of Cetinje has been particularly hard hit in recent months.
In June, two people died and three were injured there in an explosion – members of a criminal group, according to police. Among the injured were two other suspected gang members, as well as a female bystander.
