THOUSANDS rallied in Montenegro on Sunday to demand the resignation of top security officials over the shooting last week that left 12 people dead, including two children.

Chanting “resignations” and “killers,” protesters outside the Interior Ministry building in the capital Podgorica demanded that Interior Minister Danilo Saranovic and Deputy Prime Minister for Security and Defence Aleksa Becic step down.

Milo Perovic, from a student-led group that helped organise the rally, told the crowd that innocent people had died on their watch.
