The attack on the athletes of the Sarajevo athletic club in Bar, which justifiably caused a lot of public attention, both in Montenegro and in Bosnia and Herzegovina, is not a real indicator of the hospitable people in Montenegro, where every well-meaning citizen is welcome, says the Minister of the Interior, Filip Adzic.
“I wish the injured athletes a speedy recovery, in the hope that they will see Montenegro through some more beautiful moments and better people, of whom there are certainly many more than rioters who spoil the image of our country,” says Adzic in a statement delivered to the media.
The Police Directorate, he recalls, has undertaken a series of activities with the aim of elucidating this incident, and four minors from Bar were identified from whom information was collected, and last night the fifth participant of the incident was also identified, who was arrested and is to be questioned today.
The juvenile prosecutor at the Basic State Prosecutor’s Office in Bar was informed about the incident, on whose order criminal charges will be filed against the minors on suspicion of having committed the criminal offense of violent behavior in connection with the criminal offense of grievous bodily harm.
“The event in Bar, as well as a number of others we are witnessing these days, remind us that we must additionally work on preventing peer violence, which will be our priority in the coming period,” says Adzic.
