The Police Directorate states that since the very beginning of this action, i.e. in the period from 2015 to the end of March 2026, over 7,400 weapons, around 197,000 pieces of ammunition and more than 100 kilograms of explosives, as well as over 2,500 pieces of various weapon parts, have been voluntarily handed over to police officers throughout Montenegro.
They appealed to citizens to contribute to the overall security of society and to surrender weapons, ammunition and explosives in their possession, without legal, or criminal or misdemeanor liability and regardless of whether they possess the weapons illegally or legally.
Citizens can call the police at 122, inform the police officers that they want to return the weapon, after which the police officer will take the weapon at the location where the person or weapon is located and issue a receipt for the takeover.
"It is important to note that citizens should not bring weapons to police stations themselves, primarily for safety reasons, but should follow the previously mentioned instructions for the voluntary surrender of weapons," the Police Directorate concluded in a statement.
