The informal student group “Where Tomorrow?” has called on citizens to participate in the “Tie It Up So It’s Seen” campaign at Podgorica’s Millennium Bridge.
In a social media post on platform X, they shared that individuals can collect red ribbons from them or bring something red from home.
“This act serves as a shared reminder of the significance of unity and connection in this fight! Let’s demonstrate our presence and commitment! Join us at the protest tonight, as we walk towards the monument of King Nikola, making the responsible parties take notice! At 19:30 PM,” the post declares.
A new protest, organized by “Where Tomorrow?”, is set to take place today in Podgorica regarding unfulfilled demands following the tragedy in Cetinje.
According to the student group’s announcement, the protest is scheduled to commence at 19:30 PM in front of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP) building, leading to a procession to the Government.
Last week, the group organized a multi-hour blockade near the Government building, having previously conducted protests and road blockades in Podgorica, where citizens also gathered independently in various municipalities.
The students are demanding the removal of Interior Minister Danilo Šaranović and Deputy Prime Minister for Security and Defense Aleksa Bečić.
They are also advocating for proactive measures from relevant institutions regarding weapons possession, reforming police operations, reinstating civic education as a mandatory subject in schools, and enhancing the institutional approach to mental health care.
The group “Where Tomorrow?” affirmed their commitment to continuing the gatherings until the accountability and actions during and after the two fatal incidents in Cetinje, resulting in the loss of 23 lives, are thoroughly investigated.
While they acknowledge the Government’s steps to increase police presence, enhance weapon legislation, and hold public discussions on mental health, they stress the critical need to hold accountable those responsible for failures in Cetinje.
