Abazović: The government will help Cetinje with 100.000 euros

Answering the questions of "Vijesti", he said that the Army helicopter, even if it had been engaged, would not have contributed to the members of the Counter-Terrorist Unit coming to Cetinje before they did, because they would have spent part of their time going to the military airport in Golubovci.

The Prime Minister in the technical mandate, Dritan Abazović, said that at the Government session dedicated to the tragedy in Cetinje, they considered the preliminary results of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on that event, as well as the report of the Ministry of Health.

He said that they came to the conclusion to help the Capital of Cetinje with 100.000 euros, but that it would not be the final figure.

On August 12, Vuk Borilović killed ten people and wounded six in the Medovina settlement in Cetinje, after which he was killed.

Abazović added that the Ministry of Health formed a commission to provide psychological assistance to all citizens of Cetinje who need this type of assistance.

As he said, examinations will be scheduled without the instructions of the selected doctor.

Abazović said that the state will not forget the policeman who was wounded in an attempt to stop the tragedy.

"I hope that no Government of Montenegro will have the need for such sessions again," said Abazović after the session dedicated to the tragedy in Cetinje.

Abazović did not want to say whether the preliminary report of the MUP states whether any victims were killed after the police arrived at the scene.

Answering questions from "Vijesti", he said that the Army helicopter, even if it had been engaged, would not have contributed to the members of the Counter-Terrorist Unit coming to Cetinje before they did, because part of the time would have been spent going to the military airport in Golubovci.

He said that he did not want to defend anyone, except for common sense, citing an example from Austria when the police could not restrain an attacker with an automatic rifle for an hour.

He also said that the information was presented that in the previous period, by court decisions, many were released who were arrested for illegal possession of weapons.

Đurašković: The Commission will define the appropriate criteria for helping families

The Mayor of Cetinje, Nikola Đurašković, who also attended the Government session, thanked for the organization of the session dedicated to the tragedy in Prijestonica, but also to everyone for their help in difficult times for Cetinje and Montenegro.

"The capital city of Cetinje is working on the formation of a commission that will define the appropriate criteria for helping the families of the wounded and injured," Đurašković pointed out.
