Governor Wenzel said that €54 million will be invested in the construction of “Tirsova II” from a CEB loan, of which €30 million is envisaged for works and €24 million for procurement of the necessary equipment.
The CEB Governor said that the project of renovation of hospitals in Serbia is expected to be approved soon.
He explained that this is a very flexible model of financing that excludes complex procedures and that Serbia is the first country in the region in which this model will be applied.
Primer Minister Brnabic thanked Governor Wenzel on good cooperation and support of the Development Bank to projects in the healthcare sector.
The renovation, equipment and modernisation of hospitals and healthcare institutions is a priority for us, and first of all the “Tirsova” clinic, which is important not only for Belgrade and Serbia, but for the entire region, the Prime Minister stated.
In addition, she highlighted the importance of renovation and modernisation of schools and institutions of culture, which is another priority for this government and herself personally.
Brnabic and Wenzel also spoke about the financing of the project of construction of a concert hall in Belgrade, for which the acoustics project is being currently elaborated.
The two officials agreed that the construction of this hall will have exceptional importance for the development of culture and tourism in Belgrade and Serbia as a whole.
