CORVERSE The tragedy began to unfold late yesterday (01.01.2020) in the afternoon, around 18:30 (Greece time), in a restaurant in the village of Bice, near the town of Chetinje. A man who spoke with “a client with whom he had spent much of the day” and “after having consumed a large amount of alcohol”, returned “his house, took a gun”, went back to the store and “killed four people,” Montenegrin police chief Lazar Stsepanovic said. Then the perpetrator went to another three locations, where he killed six other people — among them a member of his own family, the restaurant owner and the latter’s two children, 10 and 13. “He tried to kill four other people whose lives are no longer in danger,” added Mr. Stsepanovic during a press conference. CORVERSE After a long time of police hunt and army mobilisation, the gunman was spotted and surrounded. When police officers ordered him to “put down the gun, he shot himself in the head,” police chief Stsepanovic told. “We tried to escort him to a hospital, but he succumbed,” he added. In a speech last night, Prime Minister Miloko Spajić announced that a three-day national mourning is declared, from Thursday (01.01.2025) to the day after Saturday.

All of Montenegro feels and shares your pain. We pray for the rapid recovery of the wounded,” Montenegrin President Jakov Milatovic also said via X. Near the traditional restaurant where the tragedy began, the police prevented anyone from approaching yesterday. Tens of men, police vehicles, and at least one ambulance behind the bars they had set up, found a reporter from the French Agency. Authorities assured that the massacre was not “a result of encountering groups belonging to organised crime”. Gang action and corruption have been hitting Montenegro for years now, particularly Cetinje, which has been tested in recent months. In June, two people were killed and three others were injured in an explosion. They were gang members, according to the police. The wounded were two other alleged gang members and passing through. After the explosion, the government pledged to fight organised crime. However, in late September, another member of the Mafia’s “family” was murdered in Chetinje, once a royal capital. The method followed left no doubt that it was a professional hitman’s job: he was killed by a sniper while sitting in his garden. According to data collected by the Swiss research program Small Arms Survey, at least 245,000 firearms are released in Montenegro, while the country’s population, previously part of the former Yugoslavia, is around 630,000 inhabitants.
