The first picture from Bar after a seven-hour drama: Edin surrendered, gas cans still in front of the bank
Edin B., who threatened to blow himself up with explosives in front of a bank branch in Bar at 8 am this morning, turned himself in to police after a seven-hour drama and numerous negotiations with police, family members and Montenegrin Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic.
After Edin's surrender, his backpack remained on the sidewalk in front of the bank, as well as two fuel cans and some, apparently, personal belongings of Edin B.
- After lengthy negotiations E.B. surrendered to Bar police officers. E.B. has blocked the entrance of a bank branch in Bar since the early morning hours, threatening to detonate an explosive device. Further activities are underway - the police announced briefly.
Authorities said that at 7.45 am, they received a report that an unknown person was in front of the bank and that he had an explosive device with him.
All measures have been taken, as it seems in such situations. Negotiating teams immediately contacted him and negotiations lasted for several hours, until 2:50 p.m. The person did not threaten to use force against someone else, but said that he would inflict injuries on himself. There was no threat to humanity and no one was endangered - said Veselin Tabaš, head of the Bar Security Center.
As they stated, it is being checked what the suspect left in front of the branch office, as well as what is in the fuel canisters. It is believed that Edin did not have explosives or weapons with him.
- It is important that no one was injured. He himself fenced the building before the police arrived, so there was no danger that the citizens would be endangered - the authorities said, adding that one building was evacuated and the entire neighborhood was blocked.
It should be reminded that due to Edin B.'s threat to blow himself up with explosives, the police had to evacuate shops, but also some buildings in Marshal Tito Street in Bar, where the bank's branch is located.
Edin came in front of the branch this morning, forbade the workers to enter, and then started threatening to blow himself up. He previously provided the media with a video from YouTube, in which he called on the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister, as well as the Speaker of the Assembly, to help resolve the situation with the bank, claiming that "Primorka" workers suffered multimillion damages.
In that video, the man showed a part of improvised devices that he claims are explosive.
- I will keep the bank under control until the bank pays the workers the money it stole, with the interest due for all the time they have been waiting for. I will have with me a mask for tear gas and smoke, a bulletproof vest, a pistol with bullets, Molotov cocktails and two improvised explosive devices on a remote trigger. There will be bags with nails on the improvised devices in case of an explosion - he stated on the video and demonstrated how the device works.
Police did not say whether they found explosives or weapons on the spot after the suspect was handed over.
