On Monday, Montenegrin citizens voluntarily surrendered 80 firearms, 1,351 pieces of ammunition, seven hand grenades, detonator caps, and various weapon parts, as reported by the Police Directorate.

This return of weapons was part of the long-running “Respect Life, Return Weapons” campaign initiated by the Police Directorate.

According to the announcement, residents from Podgorica, Danilovgrad, Tuzi, and Cetinje surrendered a total of 62 weapons, comprising eight pistols and 54 rifles, along with 701 rounds of various types and calibers of ammunition, in addition to weapon parts.

Additionally, “In Bar, Budva, Kotor, Herceg Novi, and Tivat, seven firearms—three rifles and four pistols—along with 170 rounds of ammunition were voluntarily returned to law enforcement,” the statement revealed.

The report further noted that six firearms were handed over in Berane, Kolašin, Mojkovac, and Plav, which included three rifles and three pistols, as well as 348 pieces of ammunition, three grenades, 34 detonator caps, and weapon parts.

“In Nikšić and Pljevlja, five firearms—four rifles and one pistol—along with 132 rounds of ammunition, four grenades, and additional weapon parts were voluntarily turned in to police officers,” the statement added.

Since the start of January, a total of 2,320 weapons, 75,104 rounds of ammunition, 248 hand grenades, and several hundred parts of weapons and explosive devices have been surrendered to the Police Directorate on a voluntary basis.

The Police Directorate reminded the public that weapons owned by family members or relatives are considered illegal under the Weapons Act, unless a legal heir obtains the necessary permit from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, regardless of whether probate proceedings have taken place.

“We would like to reiterate that citizens can contact the police at 122 to inform them of their intention to return any weapons, without facing any legal, criminal, or misdemeanor consequences, regardless of the legality of their possession,” the Police Directorate emphasized in the statement.
