Hungary donating vaccines to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro

Hungary is donating 200,000 coronavirus vaccine doses each to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to Montenegro, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó announced on Monday at a meeting of the Visegrad Group and representatives of the Western Balkans held in Poland.

Speaking to MTI at Rogalin Castle, in western Poland, Szijjártó noted interdependence between central Europe and the Western Balkans in areas such as security, the handling of migration, trade and health.

“We’ve done all we can to ensure the health and safety of the Hungarian people,” he said, adding that 5.5 million Hungarians will have been fully vaccinated in the coming days.

At the same time, Hungary’s neighbours should be ensured a proper level of protection, he said, adding that the better protected Hungary’s neighbours are, the safer the country will be.

The Sinopharm vaccines will be delivered to the two countries in July,

the minister said, adding that the Chinese jab has been approved in all Western Balkan countries and had proven effective in Hungary.
