- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Medical Chamber in Belgrade was established in 1923 in accordance with the Directive on Medical Chambers, under the name Medical Chamber of Serbia, Vojvodina and Srem, with its headquarter in Belgrade, to protect and represent interests of physicians in Serbia. The Chamber included all physicians registered in the Medical Register. The Chamber had a General Assembly, Management Board and Disciplinary Court. The Chambers published the Medical Chamber Gazette. First editor-in-chief was Bukić Pijade, MD, a Jewish physician and member of the City Assembly. In 1929, the professional chambers were reorganised. Ten individual medical chambers were established for Serbia, and the Medical Chamber in Belgrade had jurisdiction in Belgrade, Zemun and Pančevo. During the Second World War, the Chamber had jurisdiction in the whole territory of the country. It ceased to exist in 1945.
