TALIĆ: "TERME BANJA LUKA" TO BECOME A PLACE WHERE NATURAL WEALTH MEETS EXPERTISE

BANJA LUKA, September 3 /SRNA/ - The goal of the Institute for Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Surgery "Dr Miroslav Zotović" is for "Terme Banjaluka" to be an energy-efficient and economically sustainable complex - a modern spa and recreational center where natural wealth and human expertise converge, combining tradition and the future, said Institute director Goran Talić.

Addressing guests at the official opening of "Terme Banjaluka" in the Srpske Toplice neighborhood, Talić emphasized that the Institute aims to offer a place in the heart of the city dedicated to health preservation, recovery, and recreation - an oasis of peace, as well as an attractive tourist destination. "'Terme Banjaluka' and the complex in Slatina are, and must remain, state projects - projects we continue to build upon. Thank you for being here tonight to mark the completion of this significant endeavor. I am proud we achieved this together," said Talić. He noted that the journey was not easy and that there were difficult moments, but the determination to return a spa to Banjaluka and its people was stronger. "The desire to modernize, revive, and put into function this exceptional resource and environment prevailed - and we succeeded! At 'Zotović' we once again proved that we have the knowledge and ability," Talić stressed. He expressed gratitude for the trust and support the Institute received for this and other development projects. "Above all, thank you, President /Milorad/ Dodik, the president and members of the Government, especially you, Minister /Zora/ Vidović, the Health Insurance Fund, and many others who recognized and supported our vision," Talić stated. He highlighted that to turn a vision into reality, architects, contractors, and supervision were essential, extending thanks to the chief architect, the main contractor HSS, and subcontractors. Talić also thanked his colleagues for their daily dedication, knowledge, and commitment. "It is a privilege to work with such people and to have the opportunity, through projects like this, to give back to our city, our people, and Republika Srpska," Talić concluded. The opening ceremony was attended by the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, Speaker of the National Assembly Nenad Stevandić, the newly appointed Prime Minister Savo Minić, executive and local officials, as well as representatives of public and social life in Republika Srpska.
