In front of the Ministry of Interior building at 7:30 PM, a protest by the informal student group "Kamo śutra" began.
They called on the authorities to be held accountable for their insufficient actions in the security system.
"Our country has once again done nothing to protect its citizens and prevent crime," they said.
They presented their demands and then started walking to the Government building.
"First demand - resignation of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister for Security and Defense.
Second demand - more prompt and proactive action by the competent institutions on the issue of weapons possession.
Third demand - reform of the system of functioning of police structures.
Fourth demand - Return of civic education as a mandatory subject in all primary and secondary schools.
Fifth demand - Our new demand. Improving the institutional approach to mental health care. And now we will give an explanation.
We demand the formation of a special commission consisting of renowned psychologists and psychiatrists whose task will be to compile a psychological manual for crisis situations. We also demand urgent consideration of opening new job positions for psychologists in all Montenegrin institutions as well as urgent consideration of opening a psychological counseling center in the north, which will also contribute to the centralization of Montenegro.
We demand that the Public Service Broadcasting, through weekly programs dedicated exclusively to mental health care, promote it and thus contribute to the destigmatization of psychological examinations. "It is also necessary to regularly advertise SOS contacts of competent institutions where one can request psychological help or schedule an examination," the students stated.
A tribute to the victims of the crime in Cetinje was held in front of the Government building with a 13-minute silence.
