Podgorica School Evacuated Following Bomb Threat Alert

Gimnazija “Slobodan Škerović” in Podgorica was evacuated this morning following a bomb threat. According to reports from the local news outlet Pobjeda, students were evacuated during the second class of the day.

Authorities responded swiftly to the threat, with police conducting a thorough search of the premises to ensure the safety of all individuals involved. This incident marks a repeat occurrence for the school, which faced a similar bomb threat in November 2022. At that time, police investigations determined that the threat was false, leading to no injuries or damage.

This recent evacuation has heightened concerns regarding the frequency of false bomb threats in the region. Other schools in Podgorica have also been targets of such hoaxes in recent months, which have disrupted educational activities and raised alarms within the community.

As authorities continue to investigate today’s incident, there remains a pressing need for measures to address the growing issue of false alarms in schools. The local community is urged to remain vigilant but calm as police work to verify the credibility of threats and ensure the safety of students and staff.

Parents and guardians are advised to stay informed through official channels and to support their children in processing the events surrounding the evacuation. The psychological impact of such threats can be significant, and open communication is essential for maintaining a sense of security.
