UPDATE: Gunfire erupted at a cafe in Niksic around 22:30 hours tonight, leaving two men injured. Authorities confirm that Andrija Markovic and Milo Jovanovic were both struck by gunfire from an unknown assailant, prompting a swift police response.
The injured were immediately transported to the Medical Center Niksic for treatment. Local police have cordoned off the area and established a citywide blockade as they intensify efforts to identify the shooter. This developing situation has raised significant concerns among residents and officials alike.
Authorities have stated that while both victims are known members of an organized crime group, it is too early to determine if this incident is directly linked to their criminal activities. A prosecutor from the Higher State Prosecutor’s Office in Podgorica has been informed and is overseeing the investigation.
“We are gathering more information to clarify the circumstances surrounding the use of firearms. As of now, we cannot confirm any connections to organized crime until further evidence is collected,”
police officials stated.
This incident is particularly alarming as it follows previous conflicts involving one of the victims earlier this year, where Markovic was involved in an altercation with a fan group at another establishment in Niksic. He was previously detained in connection with these events, and a criminal case is still pending against him.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant as police continue their investigation. Further updates will be provided as more details emerge. The situation remains fluid, and community safety is a top priority for local authorities. Stay tuned for more breaking developments.
