Just seconds after the clock struck midnight, a girl was born in one of the two largest maternity hospitals in the country. The name is not yet known, but it is known to weigh 2.8 kilograms and is 48 centimeters long.

Immediately behind her, says the director of GAK in Visegradska, Aleksandar Stefanović, in the second minute another girl was born, a little heavier: 3.4 kilograms.

“We wait for the child until May 3, when the first child was born, also with a normal delivery. The children are fine,” says Stefanović.

The new mothers in the neighboring maternity hospital “Narodni Front” are also good, they gave birth to six babies. The fastest was a child.

“Last night, we did everything we could to make this go the way it did, in a wonderful and joyful way. And I congratulate all the brave mothers,” says Dr. Dejan Pavlović of GAK “Narodni Front”.

“Three babies will receive a donation of 300 thousand dinars each”

Belgrade Mayor Zoran Radojićić points out that last night three babies were born in a short interval, so three babies will receive a donation of 300 thousand dinars each.

“One, the first baby is this boy, who was born here in Narodni Front hospital. There is a girl who was born shortly after in the Hospital of the Clinical Center, and also in ‘Dragiša Mišović’ we have a baby, a girl, who was also born after midnight, “says Radojicic.

After midnight, the first babies came south

In the first minute of 2021, a boy was born at the Vranje maternity ward, and then two more babies arrived.

Nis also has two small inhabitants after midnight. “The most beautiful gift anyone can receive, here we have a son. And we are the happiest in the world,” says mother Danica Mihajlović.

Nis Mayor Dragana Sotirovski points out that the year in Nis started off very well, as the two Nis residents made us happy with their newcomers.

“A boy who was born early in the morning and a girl who spices up Vera, so symbolically Vera will give us faith in a better tomorrow,” Sotirovska said.

The statistics, however, are tough

Still, the statistics are stark. Last year, more than 2.7 percent fewer babies were born in Serbia than in 2019.

To change that, the government announces that it will soon introduce new incentives for mothers and children.

“We have set aside, the Government, additional money, so that, as much as what is happening to us with the pandemic, it seems depressing, to create additional circumstances and additional stimulus for both new marriages and new children,” said Ratko Dmitrovic, Minister of Care. on family and demographics.

A new resident of the southern province arrived at the maternity hospital in Kosovska Mitrovica only around noon. Both the mother and the child are fine.
