Montenegro incident sparks debate over youth violence and social influences

A violent and racist incident involving minors on a bus traveling between Kotor and Risan in Montenegro has prompted widespread condemnation.

Observers are calling for schools to take a more active role in civilizing youth and addressing the root causes of such behavior. Critics argue that educational institutions lack clear procedures to combat these issues and noted that children are heavily influenced by external factors, including media content, reality television, and nationalist rhetoric that fails to promote tolerance for different races, religions, or identities.
