The clashes with the police began early Sunday morning when the Bishop was approaching the monastery where he would be enthroned. Aleksandra Tolj-Ruzic reported hearing automatic gunfire and explosions around the blockades around the city which the demonstrators raised banning anyone entry.

The 20 rounds which were heard being fired were supposed to have been fired into the air.

Russian broadcaster Sputnik Serbia published the video of a helicopter carrying the bishop Joanikije to the monastery. He was then surrounded by the police and special agents protecting him from the possible gunfire.

Montenegrin Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazovic posted a video on Twitter showing a clash between Montenegrin Presidential Adviser Veselin Veljovic and the opposition Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) MPs and the police in Cetinje. Veljovic was then was officially arrested on the order of the Prime Minister of Montenegro, Zdravko Krivokapic.
