Delta City was evacuated at about 6pm because of a bomb alert and firefighters, emergency teams, as well as anti-diversion police unit were immediately sent to the mall.

When advised to leave the building, visitors did not panic, one of the employees told CdM.

“There was no panic like it was the case previous time. People quickly went out. Only children were scared a little bit more. There were no screaming and panicking,” the maintenance worker Dragutin Nedic told CdM.

“It seems people have become accustomed to bomb threats,” he added.

“We just heard a warning to get out. Then, all the people start leaving Delta. Within, I think, a second, the shopping mall was evacuated. There was a little panic, everyone was like ‘not again’,” another eyewitness told the news portal.

This is the second false bomb threat in the Delta and the seventh one in the last ten days in Podgorica. All previous alerts were also false, but calls made from numbers registered in neighbouring countries caused evacuation of the Delta City shopping centre, the Beagle night club, the Capital Plaza business centre, and the hotels Hemera, Hilton and Ramada.

Montenegro’s Interpol does not rule out any motive the false bomb alerts in Podgorica, said Dejan Djurovic, the head of the department at a special press conference held on Wednesday.
