This was confirmed by Police Chief Lazar Scepanovic. How crown reported that four other people are also seriously injured and doctors are fighting for their lives.

The crime began with an argument in the bar, which led to a bloodbath.

Mourning and security measures

The government of Montenegro has declared three days of national mourning to remember the victims. Cetinje, once the capital of the Kingdom of Montenegro, has a population of about 14,000 people.
