On Wednesday, the citizens of Montenegro voluntarily surrendered a total of 92 firearms, 1,923 rounds of ammunition, and eight hand grenades, as reported by the Police Directorate.

This initiative, known as the “Respect Life, Return Weapons” campaign, has been actively promoted by the Police Directorate for several years.

The reports indicate that in Podgorica, Danilovgrad, Tuzi, and Cetinje, 43 weapons, 636 rounds of various types and calibers, five hand grenades, and several components were handed over voluntarily.

In Bar, Ulcinj, Budva, Kotor, Tivat, and Herceg Novi, citizens returned 20 weapons to police officers, which included 11 pistols, nine rifles, along with 66 rounds of ammunition, one hand grenade, and several weapon components.

In Bijelo Polje, Berane, and Mojkovac, 17 weapons were surrendered voluntarily, comprising ten pistols and seven rifles, alongside 1,008 rounds of various types and calibers, two hand grenades, and several weapon components.

Furthermore, police officers in Nikšić and Pljevlja received 12 firearms, including nine pistols and three rifles, along with 213 rounds of ammunition that were surrendered voluntarily.

According to the Police Directorate, since the start of January, a total of 2,996 firearms, 100,909 rounds of ammunition, 327 hand grenades, and several hundred weapon components and explosive devices have been surrendered voluntarily.

The Directorate also emphasized that holding onto firearms belonging to family members or relatives, regardless of whether probate procedures are in progress in court, is considered illegal under the Weapons Act.

The statement clarified, “Until one of the legal heirs obtains a permit to possess those weapons from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”

Police officials noted that citizens can contact them at 122 to express their intention to return a weapon, without facing any legal, criminal, or misdemeanor repercussions, irrespective of whether the weapon is legally or illegally owned.
