Starting today, it's again possible to schedule appointments for coronavirus testing: Big crowds
Citizens can schedule an appointment by sending a request by e-mail
Other than at the Torlak Institutes, where there have been huge crowds and long queues for testing for coronavirus in recent days - both for PCR and the antibody test - this service can be performed at your own expense at the City Institute of Public Health. However, the waiting list is formed quickly, and the number of tests is limited, so all those interested must apply in time.

In this Institute, it's possible to schedule the taking of throat and nose swabs for Covid 19 testing (PCR) at the personal request of citizens.
This type of testing is mainly requested by those traveling internationally. The daily testing capacity is 30 people.

The government decided to change the price of testing for foreigners to 120 euros (i.e., the dinar equivalent of that sum, according to the middle exchange rate of the NBS on the day). This price will not apply to foreign citizens with permanent residence or regulated temporary residence in the Republic of Serba, nor to members of foreign diplomatic or consular missionsand members of their families (they will pay 6,000 dinars.)
