President Milo Đukanović sent his condolences to Georgian President Saloma Zurabishvili on the occasion of the tragedy that happened in that country.
"Sincere condolences on the occasion of the nine lives lost in the tragedy in the city of Batumi, including three children. Montenegro is with friendly Georgia and its people," Đukanović wrote on Twitter.
Nine people were killed after a seven-story building collapsed in Batumi on Friday.
In the announcement of the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was stated that the collapse occurred due to the renovation of the apartment on the first floor.
The owner of the apartment on the first floor of the building and two construction workers were arrested, and the trio is accused of causing the collapse of the entire building through illegal works on the renovation of the apartment.
In Georgia, October 11 was declared a day of mourning.
Djukanovic paid an official visit to Georgia earlier this week. It was the first official visit at the highest presidential level since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Montenegro and Georgia
