Bujanovac – Rasim Ljajic, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Trade, Tourism and Telecommunications, and the Minister of Health, Zlatibor Loncar, announced that Bujanovac Spa would be one of those for which the selling process would be launched right away. 

Minister Ljajic said that it was agreed at a meeting of the Government’s Spa Commission to deal with each spa separately. 

“We are trying to activate the spas that are currently not used at all or that conduct business operations badly, while there is also a chance to find strategic partners or buyers for them," Minister Ljajic said.

Representatives of the Ministry of Economy, who during their visit to Bujanovac visited Bujanovac Spa as well, pledged to the management of that spa resort that, "in accordance with the conclusion of the Government of Serbia", they would, together with the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund, soon find a solution to the disputed ownership share of the Fund in the spas in Serbia for the purpose of removing all barriers to their upcoming privatization. The group of ten spas that are in litigation with the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund includes the Special Hospital for Rehabilitation in Bujanovac Spa.

At a meeting held at this institution with the Ministry of Economy and the Republican Fund for Development, it was said that the overall realization in the nine months of the current year amounted to 58 million dinars, which is by around 18 million more than in the same period last year. The Special Hospital in Bujanovac Spa employs 88 workers that regularly receive their monthly salaries.
