"Our team found them, but at this time we cannot give more information, since they were killed in the territory of Montenegro. We can only confirm that two people, citizens of the Republic of Serbia, have died and that lifeless bodies were found on a sipar (a steep erosion bed)," GSS Foca has told Telegraf.rs.

A car with Belgrade number plates was found in the territory of Mt. Volujak.

The investigation has been taken over by the authorities of neighboring Montenegro because the accident occurred on a part of the mountain located in the territory of this state.
