It is unclear what he was planning to do with it. Nevertheless, border officials stopped an Austrian (40) who was trying to smuggle a pistol and 509 rounds of ammunition from Croatia to Montenegro in his car. It was not until New Year's Eve that an Austrian was caught at the same crossing, along with his arsenal of weapons. 

It seems rather unlikely that this Austrian only wanted to go on vacation, given his spicy trunk load. As the Montenegrin daily newspaper "Vijesti" reported, the man was trying to cross from Croatia to Montenegro with a "Česká" pistol and 509 rounds of 9 mm ammunition.

The authorities, who say they are currently conducting "intensive activities" against border smuggling and cross-border crime, arrested the Austrian for illegal possession of weapons and smuggling.

Air rifles, gas cylinders, pistols
This is not the first case of red-white-red weapons smuggling at the border crossing known as Debeli Brijeg. On New Year's Eve, an Austrian (54) wanted to bring a whole arsenal of weapons to Montenegro in his car.

In addition to two air rifles and gas cylinders, the 54-year-old was also transporting a Walter pistol and 575 rounds of ammunition in his trunk. He was also arrested.
