Citizens asked "not to dispose of explosives in dumpsters"

The Serbian Interior Ministry (MUP) on Tuesday appealed on citizens "in possession of bombs and other mine-explosive devices" not to throw them into dumpsters

Instead, citizens have been informed, they should call the police who will quickly respond and take over the explosives.

The MUP at the same time noted that a campaign to legalize firearms is ongoing and will last through June 4.

Reporting on this statement issued by the Serbian ministry, the Beta news agency mentioned that "otherwise, several days ago a hand grenade was found near the building of the Higher Prosecution in Podgorica (Montenegro)."

The agency quoted Montenegrin media who said that "a Roma man had been observed cycling with a hand grenade in his bicycle's basket."

After the citizen was "alerted to the fact he was carrying a bomb," he took the device out of the basket and placed it near a dumpster, located close to the Prosecution HQ.

The police later "secured the area," said the agency.
