Several thousand people gathered in Montenegro to demand the resignations of top security officials following a shooting incident that resulted in the deaths of 12 individuals, including two children. The rally, held in the capital city of Podgorica, saw protesters chanting slogans such as 'Resignations' and 'Killers,' calling for Interior Minister Danilo Šaranovic and Deputy Prime Minister for Security and Defense Aleksa Becic to step down.

Organized by a student-led group, the protesters expressed their dissatisfaction with the authorities, accusing them of failing to protect the citizens. The tragic event, which unfolded during a bar brawl, led to a 45-year-old man, identified as Aco Martinovic, opening fire and claiming the lives of four individuals at the bar and eight others at different locations before taking his own life.
