The informal student group “Kamo Śutra?” will not give up the protest until their demands regarding the tragedy in Cetinje are met, said Milo Perović from that group of students.
A new protest organized by “Kamo Śutra?” regarding the tragedy in Cetinje, in which Aco Martinović killed 13 people on January 1, will be held tomorrow in front of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) in Podgorica.
Perović said that there will be no new demands at tomorrow’s protest.
“We have remained committed and consistent with the demands so far, because the government has not made any statements regarding them, nor has any step been taken towards their fulfillment,” Perović told the MINA agency.
He said that the “Kamo Śutra?” group is uncompromising regarding its demands.
“Regarding tomorrow’s protest, I can say that it will not be the last protest, because we will not give up until our demands are met,” Perović emphasized.
He said that the students are continuing the form of civil struggle they started.
Perović stated that they would not have started this struggle if they were ready to give up easily and were subject to intimidation, which, as he added, there was.
According to him, tomorrow’s protest will be in the same spirit as before, where a 13-minute silence is planned to pay tribute to the victims of the crime in Cetinje.
Perović announced that the group “Where to Tomorrow?” is planning new actions as part of the protest, but did not say what these new activities will be specifically.
“We are a young team and we are creative and everything will be expressed in the coming period,” Perović said.
Asked why a walk to the Parliament building was planned for tomorrow's protest, he said that the reason was that this institution is the right address for expressing civil rebellion and for protesting.
"Because the Parliament is the body in which laws regarding our demands will be voted on, once the Government starts implementing our demands," Perović said.
He pointed out that one of the reasons is also breaking the monotony and the dynamics of the protest.
Perović said that there were about ten thousand people at the last protest and added that they expect even more people tomorrow.
"We expect even more people to attend the new protest, to become even more civically massive, so that we can truly have a serious and sincere critical mass behind us," Perović added.
He pointed out that they want more young people to attend the protest and called on students to join the protests.
"I know that there are many young people who may not have had enough guts and courage to be with us on the streets so far, but who essentially support us," Perović said.
Asked whether they expect Prime Minister Milojko Spajić to announce by February 1 what has been done regarding the security of citizens, to which he was invited by the group "Kamo Śutra?", Perović replied that they remain open to seeing what will happen with their invitation and request.
"If we did not expect it at all, we would not have made that request, we would not have invited the Prime Minister to do so," said Perović.
He assessed that Spajić, as Prime Minister, is obliged to address the public at a press conference about the actions and activities of the state and state bodies regarding the crimes in Cetinje.
