Two mass murders and 23 lives lost: Could the state have prevented a repeat of the horror?

Whether the state could and should have prevented a repeat of the horror that occurred last January 1st in Cetinje will remain unanswered.

However, two and a half years, two mass murders, and 23 lives lost, including four children, have left an open question - how safe is Montenegro today.

The victims' families warn of system failures, lack of accountability, and unfulfilled promises by the authorities.

While citizens are demanding stricter laws and greater security, the police say that capacities have been strengthened and that over 70 police officers have been deployed in the Royal Capital.
