The "Simo Milošević" Institute will be closed for users from Friday, and the reception of patients and guests will continue during the first week of February.
The executive director, Zoran Kovačević, told RTHN that, as in previous years, the Igalo Institute will close its doors to guests for a short time at the end of the month, and the employees will use the winter break for rest, but also for regular annual maintenance of the institution, in order to be ready for the next one. season.
"The last users of the Institute's services leave on December 27, and we will open the doors during the first week of February. We will use that period to prepare the facility for users and the Mimosa Festival. We hope that in January, the state and the minority shareholder will come to an agreement on the business of the Institute so that the planned activities will be realized", said Kovačević.
During the winter break, funds will be directed to servicing accommodation and technical technological capacities, so that the institution can functionally await the announced start of major investments.
"At the moment, we have a regular level of maintenance in accordance with the scarce resources at our disposal, so that in February they will be as good as possible for the users. What the restructuring plan certainly envisages are significant investments that are necessary in the capacities of the Igalo Institute," said Kovačević.
The winter break in the work of the Institute was preceded by a meeting of workers on December 23, at which representatives of the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Urbanism and State Property presented the details of the restructuring plan to the employees, who are worried about the still present danger of bankruptcy, but also because they are left to the decision of the minority shareholders and the outcome of the session scheduled for January 9.
