Belgrade: 26.5 Million Dinars for Multiple-Birth Families
Parents of triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets and double twins can apply at social work centers; 112 decisions were paid out for 2025.
The Belgrade City Secretariat for Social Welfare has announced that parents of triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets and double twins can apply for permanent cash aid. Applications are open, Jovana Kostic of the Secretariat told Tanjug on October 21, and the City published the same call on the beograd.rs portal as early as October 12, 2026.
How much is the cash aid for triplets and double twins?
The aid is provided under Article 68 of the Decision on Social Welfare Rights and Services of the City of Belgrade and is granted once a year. The amount is not a fixed sum. It depends on the children’s age and is calculated in average salaries paid in Belgrade:
- parents of preschool-age children receive one average salary
- parents of primary school pupils receive two average salaries
- parents of secondary school students receive three average salaries
In its announcement, the City says it provides financial support to parents of triplets, quadruplets and double twins “as a matter of tradition.” According to the City’s announcement, parents of triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets and double twins are all eligible.
How much money was paid out for 2025?
For 2025, the City reports 112 decisions paid, for a total of 26,543,591 dinars (about 226,000 EUR). Kostic told Tanjug that 112 families received the aid. Dividing the total by the number of decisions gives an average of roughly 237,000 dinars (about 2,020 EUR) per decision. That is our own calculation from the published totals, not a figure the City itself provided, and actual amounts depend on the children’s ages.
Where do you apply and what do you need?
Kostic repeated to Tanjug the call from the Secretariat’s announcement:
“We inform parents of triplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, sextuplets and double twins that they may submit a request and the necessary documentation to exercise the right to permanent cash aid provided for by the Decision on Social Welfare Rights and Services of the City of Belgrade.”
The request and documents are submitted at the municipal branch of the City Social Work Center, according to the place of residence entered on the applicant’s ID card. Applications are accepted every working day from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Required documents:
- the applicant’s ID card, read by the clerk
- the applicant’s bank account number
- a school certificate confirming regular schooling, for school-age children
- an extract from the birth register and proof of registered residence for all the children, both obtained through official channels
So parents do not bring two of the documents for any of their children themselves, because the Center obtains them ex officio. Neither the Secretariat’s announcement nor the news item on the City portal states a deadline for submitting requests.
