In Montenegro, the voluntary weapons surrender campaign continues

Since the entry into force of the new law on weapons in Montenegro on March 19, 2015, citizens voluntarily returned 348 weapons (pistols and rifles), 60 mechanical explosive devices, and 6,885 ammunition.

Only for 108 weapons from citizens was a license.

In Montenegro, a total of 87,000 weapons were registered. About how many illegal - no data.

The action to hand over illegal weapons "Respect life, surrender weapons" is supported by municipalities, the OSCE, and financial support is provided by the German Embassy.

The essence of the action is that citizens can avoid criminal liability for illegal possession of weapons if they voluntarily hand over it. In order to hand over weapons you only need to call the police and the special services officers will come and take it yourself.

The delivered weapons and ammunition (857 units) were destroyed this year at the Institute of Ferrous Metallurgy in Niksic on July 9 on the International Day of Destruction of Weapons.
