EU Support Worth EUR 35 Million for Construction of Children’s Hospital Tirsova 2 – First Patients Expected to Be Admitted in 2026

The minister for public investments of Serbia, Marko Blagojevic, and the governor of the Council of Europe Development Bank, Carlo Monticelli, are signing an agreement between Serbia and the EU on the allocation of a grant for the construction of the children’s hospital Tirsova 2, and EUR 35 million has been set aside, RTS reports.

According to minister Blagojevic, the EU donation is a third of the funds required for the construction of Tirsova 2.

– The fact that this is the biggest donation that the EU has ever approved for a project speaks to the way it sees its quality and importance, but also Serbia as a partner – Blagojevic said.

The children’s hospital Tirsova 2, as announced, will have over 66,000 m2, 11 levels, around 300 beds, modern equipment, and a more efficient HVAC system.

According to the minister, the works on the foundations of the Tirsova 2 hospital are finished and the construction of the new building is expected to begin by the end of spring.

– The deadline period for the construction is three years, which is to be followed by the equipping of the facility. I expect the first patients to be admitted by the end of 2026 – the minister says.
