Montenegro’s police have today fiercely denied claims made by Democratic Party of Socialists MP Oskar Huter, who at a press conference presented a series of unfounded and manipulative statements about yesterday’s violent events in Montenegro. The Police Directorate clearly states that officers acted with utmost professionalism, in accordance with the constitution, law, and international standards, despite being subjected to brutal attacks with stones, bottles, and other objects by violent groups, including some public officials. Six police officers sustained bodily injuries, and the police used minimal force to protect public order, peace, and citizen safety.
Huter’s claims about “13 people being killed in Cetinje on January 1” are completely false and deeply insensitive towards the victims’ families, the police say. They have transparently and thoroughly informed the public about the events and took all necessary measures to stop the violence and neutralize threats. The Police Directorate emphasizes that it is daily targeted by political attacks but remains politically and ideologically neutral, acting solely in the service of citizens and the constitutional order of Montenegro.
This situation sheds light on deep divisions and manipulations in Montenegrin politics, where violence and false information are used as tools for political struggle, while the police stand on the front line defending law and order. Will the public finally understand who truly stands for the law and who exploits tragedies for political gain? Drop your thoughts, maybe you see this chaotic scene from a different angle!
