Deputy Prime Minister for Security, Defense, Fight against Crime and Internal Policy, Aleksa Bečić, said that today, when it is 83 years since the genocide in Doli and the surrounding area, in which 522 civilians were killed, including 109 children under the age of 15, we should pay homage to the shadows of the innocently killed citizens of Pivlja with deep respect and reverence.

He recalled that in Piva Parish, 1.300 locals were killed in just six days, including 549 children and young people under the age of 20.

Bečić emphasized that the Resolution on the Genocides in Piva and Velika, which he proposed and which the Parliament of Montenegro adopted in 2022, represents a permanent reminder that time must not erase the memory of innocent victims.

"At the same time, it is also an eternal obligation to preserve the sacred sacrifice of our ancestors, to cultivate the culture of remembrance and, with a clear concretization of responsibility, to always fight against the dark ideologies of Nazism, fascism and fratricide," said the Deputy Prime Minister.
