"Courage that deserves all praise": Vraneš received Emir Loj, a citizen who saved the attacked doctor

The President of the Municipality of Pljevlja, Dr. Dario Vraneš, today received Emir Loj in his cabinet, who a few days ago saved Ilhan Tursumović, a neuropsychiatrist at the Health Center in Pljevlja, when he was attacked with a knife at his workplace by a fellow citizen of DV after refusing to issue him a medical certificate for possessing weapons.

Vraneš expressed deep respect and gratitude to Loj for his courage and determination.

"This act is an example of how an individual can influence the lives of others. Your courage deserves all the praise and we are proud to have such people in our city", said Vraneš.

He said that in the conversation with the Minister of Health Dr. Vojislav Šimun, he discussed the possibilities of resolving Emir's employment.

A symbolic gift was presented to the young hero, and possible initiatives to promote workplace safety and support healthcare workers were also discussed.

"This event reminds us all of the importance of solidarity and courage in difficult times. The Municipality of Pljevlja will continue to work on improving working conditions and safety for all our citizens, and the true heroes will always be proudly highlighted", announced the Municipality of Pljevlja.

That day, Lojo came to the hospital to get a medical certificate because he intended to apply for the job of a driver at the Old People's Home in Pljevlja, even though he is an economist by profession.

After years of not being able to find employment in his profession, he decided to apply for a job as a driver at the Old People's Home in Pljevlja.

Lojo says that he was in the waiting room, with other patients, waiting for his turn to be examined in the neighboring surgery, when a nurse ran out calling for help.

Without thinking about the consequences, Lojo claims that he ran into the doctor's office where he found doctor Tursumović covered in blood and a man holding a knife to his throat. He says that the attacker offered strong resistance while trying to take the knife from him. When he succeeded, he claims that he knocked him onto the hospital bed, and that two other guys came to his aid.

He also says that he then called the police...
