A children’s neurology and psychiatry clinic in Belgrade was almost entirely evacuated after water-pipe damage caused structural problems, leaving only one patient still registered at the facility, reported Nova.rs. The evacuation followed foundation damage and ground subsidence. The clinic relocated patients on November 13 after the director assessed the building as unsafe. Clinic staff were told about a major water pipe failure roughly two weeks earlier, after which part of the foundations was damaged and the ground began to subside. Most patients were urgently discharged or transferred to other healthcare institutions, including the Laza Lazarevic psychiatric clinic and N1 Belgrade. Around 15 patients, both neurological and psychiatric, were still at the clinic when practically all children were moved under an urgent order on November 13, the source said. The situation is particularly complicated for the clinic’s remaining patient, a boy who carried out the 2023 mass shooting at Vladislav Ribnikar Elementary School in Belgrade on May 3, 2023. He was admitted immediately after the attack, and because he had not yet turned 14 at the time, Serbian law meant he could not be held criminally responsible. His stay is described as medical and institutional care rather than a prison sentence. Serbia’s Ministry of Health said an official security assessment by the Ministry of Interior must be obtained for patients needing particularly sensitive security arrangements, based on a direct inspection and a signed, certified report. As of the latest update, the clinic said the shooting perpetrator remains at the facility under full protection while the authorities determine next steps for a transfer.
