In the service of citizens

State committed to improving living conditions for older citizens

Belgrade, 8 September 2026

Prime Minister Professor Đuro Macut, MD, DSc, visited the Bežanijska Kosa residential care home of the Belgrade Gerontology Centre today, where he stressed that caring for the country’s oldest citizens will remain one of the state’s important responsibilities.

Macut was welcomed by a performance of the song Tamo daleko by the Bežanijska Kosa care home’s choir, after which he toured the facility with Belgrade Gerontology Centre Assistant Director Aleksandra Romić and the home’s Manager Marija Gavrilović.

The Prime Minister thanked the residents for their warm welcome and said that caring for older people is a matter of respect, gratitude and responsibility for society.

He noted that the country’s oldest citizens built Serbia through their work and knowledge, raised families and generations who continue to follow in their footsteps, and therefore deserve not only quality healthcare and social protection but, above all, dignity, security, care and the assurance that they are neither alone nor forgotten.

Macut stressed that the state will not forget them and that it has a duty to ensure they are safe, respected and surrounded by care, which they also receive at the Bežanijska Kosa care home, the largest residential care home for older people in Serbia.

Expressing his gratitude to the staff of the Belgrade Gerontology Centre and the Bežanijska Kosa care home, who, as he pointed out, care for residents every day, he said that this work requires not only knowledge and professionalism but also patience, understanding and, above all, a big heart.

The Prime Minister pointed out that the Belgrade Gerontology Centre currently provides care for almost 1,000 residents in its care homes, delivers home care services to nearly 2,100 citizens, and brings together approximately 9,000 older citizens through its day centres and clubs, demonstrating the importance of this institution and its full commitment to those it serves.

Macut said that the state will continue to be committed to improving the living conditions and quality of life for the country’s older citizens.
