Patients injured in a traffic accident in Montenegro will be transported to the University Clinical Center in Niš by a Serbian government plane tomorrow, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reports.

The media outlet reports that the seriously injured boy remains at the Clinical Center of Montenegro (CCMG), and that he will be transferred to Serbia when his health condition allows.

RTS states that medical teams from Niš will receive patients at Tivat airport and transfer them to Niš airport on two occasions, where doctors will also wait for them.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Aleksandar Nikolić, Assistant Director of the University Clinical Center Niš, states that there are currently eight patients in Montenegro.

"Four patients have serious physical injuries. One boy is in an induced coma, on mechanical ventilation. When his condition is satisfactory, he will be transported, depending on his health, either to Niš or Belgrade," Nikolić told RTS.

The remaining patients will be transported to the University Clinical Center in Niš, where they should be hospitalized tomorrow during the day.

Niš Mayor Dragoslav Pavlović, who is in Montenegro, pointed out that doctors from Montenegrin institutions were particularly involved in caring for the injured Niš residents.

He also states that the hospital in Risan will organize transportation to the airport in Tivat for patients who are accommodated in that institution, and one patient will be transported from the hospital in Kotor.

In the accident on July 12, a 21-year-old girl from Niš died, and of the 16 passengers in the minibus, the most seriously injured was a 10-year-old boy, who suffered severe head and lung injuries and remains in serious condition. He was hospitalized at the KCCG in Podgorica.

The investigating judge of the Basic Court in Kotor, Špiro Pavićević, accepted the proposal of the Basic State Prosecutor's Office in Kotor and ordered the detention of Lj. M. from Kotor, suspected of causing a traffic accident as a driver.
