President Vucic and President of Russia Vladimir Putin will virtually attend the launch of the making of the first Sputnik V vaccine in Serbia.
The components for creating the vaccine arrived in Serbia last night.
The plan is to produce four million Sputnik V vaccines in the initial period of four to six months.
On May 19, the Russian Gamaleya Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology confirmed the quality of the vaccine test-produced at Serbia's Torlak Institute and approved the Sputnik V to be made by this Serbian institute going forward.
Serbia will thus become the first country in Europe to produce the Covid vaccine.
