- Today here in Bezanijska kosa we are in a position to announce the opening of the Military Medical Center, which in cooperation with the Ministry of Health will be put into operation for civilian use. In the area of Bezanijska kosa there are about 7,000 active or retired members of the Army of Serbiawho are military health care beneficiaries, and this capacity will be doubled for the majority of citizens who have civilian health insurance, said the defense minister adding that this centre will save money as it will serve instead of the new health center planned for the area of New Belgrade.
