The Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism and State Property previously announced an international competition for the conceptual architectural solution for this hospital in Pljevlja, and the first prize, i.e. 37.000 euros, went to a team of authors from Turkey.

On October 7, the Ministry of Health announced that the contract was signed by the director of the Capital Investments Administration Esmin Bećović and a representative of the consortium Dejan Burčul. Minister of Health Vojislav Šimun said on that occasion that they expect work on this hospital to begin in the period from July to September 2025 (third quarter).

"The new hospital, one of the most important investments for Pljevlja, will have a gross area of ​​26.540 square meters, with 16 functional units and a capacity of 140 hospital beds, along with modern operating rooms, intensive care and specialized clinics," he said.

Prime Minister Milojko Spajic pointed out that the hospital in this northern municipality was last built in the 60s of the last century, and that after decades of empty promises, it is time for the citizens to receive state-of-the-art health care.
