As a sign of respect and gratitude for the courage, composure and humanity shown, the President of the Assembly of the Capital City of Podgorica, Jelena Borovinić Bojović, organized a reception for Olivera Šišević, who, during working hours at the market where she works, without professional help, helped a fellow citizen give birth - suddenly and in difficult circumstances, the Capital City announced.
Olivera's husband, Novica Šišević, also attended the reception.
"In a time when we face numerous challenges every day, a gesture like Olivera's reminds us of the true values that make a community strong - empathy, responsibility and courage. It is our obligation to highlight such examples, not as a sensation, but as a value that we should cherish and encourage," said Borovinić Bojović.
"I didn't even think about it. I just had in mind to help her make sure everything went smoothly," said Šišević.
Borovinić Bojović additionally emphasized that in moments when everything happens unexpectedly, human warmth and solidarity can be crucial and expressed her satisfaction that Olivera proved this with her actions, according to a statement from the Capital City.
The Capital City Assembly, as it is added, wants to send a clear message with this reception that humanity, solidarity and selflessness must not go unnoticed - because it is on them that the healthy and sustainable foundation of every society rests.
