Your Safety at Heart Failure 2025 – Belgrade

Your safety is our top priority. In light of recent demonstrations in parts of Serbia, we commissioned a detailed risk assessment by an independent international security consultancy.

The assessment confirms that Belgrade has no significant threat to international delegates or large-scale events such as ours. The Sava Center, located in New Belgrade, remains a safe and secure venue that continues to host major events successfully. Demonstrations have been largely concentrated in other parts of the city and are not expected to impact the congress directly. While some transport disruption is possible – particularly for those staying in central Belgrade – any inconvenience is expected to be minimal, as demonstrations typically take place around noon.

We are maintaining close contact with local authorities and our security partners to ensure the event runs smoothly for all involved.

We look forward to welcoming you to Belgrade for what promises to be an inspiring and impactful event.
