TriMedx Foundation Trip - SerbiaTriMedx Foundation Trip - Serbia

The Republic of Serbia is a democratic state of all citizens who live on its territory. Its history and achievements make it an integral part of contemporary civilization and the

international community.

The Republic of Serbia, together with the Republic of

Montenegro, is a constituent part of the Federal Republic of

Yugoslavia.

Belgrade is the capital city.

With a population of two millions, it is the administrative, economic and cultural heart of Serbia and

Yugoslavia.

With a struggling health care system and over 700,000 refuges, the foundation

partners with humanitarian organizations such as TriMedx from around the world.

In July 2001, the Crown Prince and Princess were reinstated in the Royal Palace in

Belgrade. In August of 2001 the Foundation of Her Royal Highness Crown Princess

Katherine was established.
