Tirsova 2 is Becoming a Reality

European Commissioner for Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi is visiting Belgrade. Accompanied by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, he visited the construction site of the children’s hospital Tiršova 2, for which the European Union has allocated 35.7 million non-refundable funds.

“It is important that people know that this project deserved the great attention of the European Union, I want to thank them. This is a huge amount of money. Thanks also to Commissioner Varhelyi, President Von der Leyen. They will give 35 million euros as a gift”, Vučić said, adding that it will be a very modern hospital, intended for all children in the region.

Vučić said that the size of the construction site is impressive.

“Preparatory works, which are the most complicated, will probably be completed by November, and then the construction of all necessary capacities will begin.” A total of 60 thousand square meters will be built “, said Vučić and concluded:

“Thank you very much for this, the citizens of Serbia are grateful.”

The European Union has never supported such a large health infrastructure investment, Commissioner Varhelyi pointed out. He added that such a project is a consequence of the Covid pandemic, which taught us to appreciate health even more.

“The health, especially the health of our children, is the most important thing,” said the commissioner, adding that in about three years or less, Tirsova 2 will become a reality.

“I am sure that the patients will appreciate this, because this gives a great contribution to the city and the state,” Varhelyi concluded.
