Today, in the Memorial Park of Bioče, the 19th anniversary of one of the most tragic accidents in the history of Montenegrin railway transport was commemorated, in which 47 passengers lost their lives, while over 200 were injured.
Tributes to the victims were paid by representatives of Željeznički prevoz Crne Gore AD Podgorica as well as representatives of the railway companies Željeznička infrastruktura Crne Gore and AD Montecargo. Wreaths were also laid by the President of Montenegro, the Minister of Transport with associates, and representatives of the Railway Administration.
Expressing deep respect for the victims and sympathy for their families, we emphasise the importance of continuously improving safety standards in railway transport. The railway accident in Bioče serves as a reminder of how crucial the preservation of human lives and the safety of all passengers is in the daily operations of the railway system, as well as the necessity for its constant enhancement. The memorial in Bioče remains a symbol of lasting remembrance for the deceased and a place where, every year, respect is paid and responsibility towards future generations is reconsidered.
