School security incidents in Croatia and Montenegro

Overview

Security incidents involving students have prompted investigations in Croatia and Montenegro.

In Požega, Croatia, police intervened after a first-grade student brought an airsoft pistol and ammunition to the Obrtnička škola. While the device was a replica, authorities identified it as a significant security risk. The Požega-Slavonia Police Administration is investigating the circumstances of the event.

In a separate investigation in Zagreb, Croatia, police launched a preventive operation following a TikTok video allegedly showing a student with a firearm. This occurred alongside reports in Bijelo Polje, Montenegro, where a teenager brought a folding knife to a secondary school. In the Montenegro case, students alleged the minor had created a “hit list” and a “hit map” on Snapchat. Police in Montenegro have filed criminal charges for inciting panic and disorder.
