"There are a lot of European countries in the top ten (Estonia, the Czech Republic, San Marino, Hungary, Montenegro), and only in three countries has the number of infected people has decreased in the previous days (Russia, Portugal and Albania)," says Kocovic.

Professor Kocovic adds that compared to November and December, the situation in Serbia is much better. This is evident in the total number of infected people - 184,822 in November and December, and 139,162 from January until March.

Kocovic says that we are currently 249 days away from achieving collective immunity.

"We should reach 60 percent of collective immunity in December," says Professor Kocovic.

In a few days, the number of new cases will start to decrease, and then in a few more days, around March 29, the average will "flatten out," he says.

"Around May 21, we will go back to the level from January 24 - 1,317 newly infected people on a daily basis. Only in December will we be able to say that we have made significant progress with vaccination," said Professor Kocovic.

Since Friday, no "corona party" has been discovered in the capital, while during last week, only restaurants with music and up to 15 people inside got fined, says Ivan Divac, the head of the Communal Police.

"Activities of the communal inspection have contributed to the fact that there have been no mass corona parties," says Divac.

When it comes to the protest that was organized a few days ago in the center of Belgrade, the head of the Communal Police says that he doesn't understand what its purpose was.

"They probably wanted to express dissatisfaction with the measures, and then they turned the protest into one big party. We are yet to see the effects of this behavior. We didn't need this! Nobody banned them from protesing, but they really didn't have to make a party out of it," says Divac.
