In response to a mass shooting, Montenegro's leaders convened to address illegal gun possession. The tragedy, resulting in 12 deaths, highlights the nation's gun culture and raises concerns about safety and government preparedness. Public outcry demands improved gun laws and accountability for recurring violent incidents.

In the wake of a tragic mass shooting, Montenegro's top officials convened for an urgent meeting aimed at curbing illegal weapons. This follows the killing of 12 individuals by a gunman using an unlawful firearm, marking the second such occurrence in under three years.
