Serbian Minister of Health Tomica Milosavljevic said at a press conference that this decision by the UN also implies huge obligations for the health centre, because it will have to prove itself if it is to maintain this status.
Milosavljevic stressed that organisational and technical preparations for the start of work at the centre are underway.
The health centre’s Director, Dragan Ilic, pointed out that the centre will assume regional responsibility for training, peer education and research, the issuing of accreditations and certificates, the dissemination and exchange of knowledge over the Internet, and on overall promotion of health related issues to young people.
He explained that the Belgrade centre was chosen and given this status after analyses by experts and advisors from the UN.
The Belgrade Centre for Health Protection of Students provides medical aid to 120,000 young people. As a special advantage over other centres in the region, the Belgrade centre organises activities such as voluntary HIV testing, a drug addiction prevention programme and various other activities related to the health education of young people.
