This week, Pfizer is delivering twice less vaccines against COVID-19 to some EU member states than it was agreed This fact contributed to a growing dissatisfaction within the European Union. Romania will thus receive 50 percent of the planned quantities this week, and deliveries will increase gradually, so that Bucharest will receive the agreed quantities only at the end of March, Deputy Health Minister Andrej Baciu told Reuters. The situation is similar in Poland, which received 176.000 doses on Monday, or 50 percent less than expected. The Czech government is also slowing down the vaccination campaign due to procurement problems. “We must expect that there will be a reduction in the number of vaccinations in the next three weeks,” Health Minister Jan Blatný told reporters. The delivery of the Pfizer vaccine will be lower by 15% this week, and by 30% next week. Pfizer pharmaceutical company told Bulgaria and Poland that it would make up for the missing doses.

Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday Moscow was interested in seeing the EU achieve practical results as the facilitator of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, but noted that they must be implemented in an impartial manner and that Pristina’s sabotage when it comes to respect of agreements must be tackled. Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday Moscow was interested in seeing the EU achieve practical results as the facilitator of the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, but noted that they must be implemented in an impartial manner and that Pristina’s sabotage when it comes to respect of agreements, including the deal on a Community of Serb Municipalities, must be tackled. Lavrov reiterated Russia was advocating respect of UN SC Resolution 1244, which he said must be the foundation for seeking any agreement with Pristina. “Our position is unchanged, we support the seeking of compromise, but only one that suits the Serbs, not the tendencies that want confrontation in the region,” Lavrov told a press conference after meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade. Lavrov also welcomed Serbia’s balanced foreign policy and its policy of military neutrality, which he said was particularly important for the region.

This unique event, a Serbian flag flying above the White House in Washington, took place over 9 decades ago but remained a memorable act of the US President Woodrow Wilson towards Serbia that submitted the ultimate sacrifice in “The Great War” – it lost 26% of its population and had a precedent in the war history when almost its entire population had to withdraw from their homeland. Thanks to the great scientist Mihajlo Pupin, a friend of the American President, the work of the Serbian Mission in the States and Serbian representative in Washington, Ljubomir M.
