The Municipality of Tivat and the Tivat Red Cross, in cooperation with the Blood Transfusion Institute of Montenegro, continue organizing voluntary blood donation drives in Tivat’s local communities. The next drive will be held at the premises of the Krtoli Local Community on Sunday, August 31, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

“We are organizing this drive in collaboration with the Krtoli and Krašići local communities, all with the goal of helping the Blood Transfusion Institute improve its blood reserves,” said the Secretariat for Local Administration of the Municipality of Tivat, responsible for cooperation with local communities.

For the needs of the blood donation drive, sandwiches and refreshments will be provided. Organizers invite residents of the Krtoli and Krašići local communities to participate in this humanitarian action on Sunday.
