Boy injured in Montenegro crash to be flown to Serbia

A 10-year-old boy from Niš, who sustained severe injuries in a traffic accident in Montenegro on July 12, is set to be transported back to Serbia. The Serbian government is providing a plane to facilitate his transfer to Niš today, according to Mayor Dragoslav Pavlović.

Mayor Pavlović shared with Euronews Serbia that the injured boy has regained consciousness after being in a coma. He will now be moved to the University Clinical Center in Niš for continued medical treatment. The accident occurred on the Kotor-Nikšić highway, resulting in the death of a 21-year-old woman from Vrtište near Niš and injuries to 16 other individuals, including several children.

Following the initial incident, the injured were treated at hospitals in Risan and Kotor. The most critically injured boy received care at the Clinical Center in Podgorica. Last week, seven of the injured were already flown from Tivat to Niš by a Serbian government plane, and subsequently transferred to the University Clinical Center for further treatment. This latest transfer marks another step in the ongoing medical care for the victims of the crash.
