Serbia is in the process of registering the Sputnik Light vaccine and will soon become the first country in Europe to use it. This was announced by Nenad Popovic, Minister of Innovation and Technology in the Serbian government, after his meeting with Denis Manturov, head of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, in Dubai.
“Popovic and Manturov confirmed that the Serbian side has begun the procedure for registering the Sputnik Light vaccine in the Republic of Serbia, making Serbia the first country in Europe to use this highly effective booster vaccine,” the press service said in a statement.
The ministers also discussed a number of bilateral infrastructure and energy projects that will be approved at the highest level during Serbian President Alexander Vucic’s upcoming visit to Moscow on November 25th. Popovic said the Serbian side attaches great importance to the upcoming meeting between Vucic and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Popovic thanked Russia and Putin for the possibility of producing the Sputnik V vaccine in Serbia.
On June 4th this year, Putin and Vucic began production of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine in Serbia at the Torlak Institute of Virology, Vaccines and Serums in Belgrade. Serbia is currently packing the Russian vaccine and will begin full-scale production by the end of Serbia’s year.
