After giving statements at the Cetinje Security Department, the Croatian citizens who were attacked in the town of Ugnja, in Cetinje, continued their journey towards Podgorica.

They did not want to speak on camera, but one of them told Radio Cetinje that they believe this is an isolated case.

"We do not condemn Montenegrins as a people, they attacked us with hoods on their heads. We have such incidents here too," the interlocutor of Radio Cetinje said briefly, adding that they love and respect Montenegro and are continuing to Podgorica to watch the game and cheer on their team.

Regarding the incident on the Cetinje-Podgorica road, the Mayor of the Royal Capital of Cetinje, Nikola Đurašković, also spoke out, in a statement to Radio Cetinje, calling on the competent state authorities to urgently identify the perpetrators of tonight's attack on Croatian citizens and to impose the harshest sanctions on them.

He believes that this is a deliberate intention to carry out an attack on the territory of Cetinje, which comes from a well-known kitchen.

Đurašković stated that "those who do everything to disrupt friendly relations with Croatia and the citizens of Croatia will not succeed in that intention no matter what they do."

"Cetinje is an open city for every well-wisher, and it is up to the state authorities to urgently stop the spiral of hatred that is being produced in order to portray both Cetinje and Montenegro as the opposite of what we are," said Đurašković.

The side window of a van with Split plates was broken. After the attack, Croatian fans "stepped on the gas" and escaped the attackers and reported the attack to a police patrol at the entrance to Cetinje.

Croatian fans were visited by Đurašković at OB Cetinje, who offered to repair their vehicle and for Cetinje to provide them with the necessary assistance, for which they thanked him, Radio Cetinje reports.

They left Cetinje, escorted by the police, a few minutes after 23 p.m.
