Kosovo, the only country in the Balkans that has received no dose of vaccine, blames the Health Ministry

Health Minister Armend Zemaj had consistently declared that they are committed to providing for anti vaccine insurance - CO VID, but this institution still does not have a precise date when AstraZeneca and Oxford vaccines can arrive in Kosovo. But delays in negotiations for vaccines and lack of transparency are seen as two factors that have contributed to the failure of anti-commercial vaccines in Kosovo.

Our “Aggression is maximum for securing COVID-19 in sufficient quantity for 75 percent of our population. I expect that according to plan for anti-inoculation - CO VID drafted by the Institute to be implemented by all levels of health care starting at primary level. Our work is transparent, concentrated and unstoppable”, he said.

Kodra's belief by the Association of Patients of Kosovo has declared that the failure to ensure SARS-COV2 protection vaccines is an unforgivable act of Kosovo institutions.

According to him, the lack of transparency by the Ministry of Health faced this process is another problem.

The security of a dose of vaccine is extremely bad for the whole world, yet it is unforgivable that all countries in the region have begun to have their first doses and to communicate endangered categories, while Kosovo still has no single dose. The bigger problem than that, I think, is not transparency of this process. We've always had promises to come to this date or another and this dosage or dosage would come, but we've still not seen clearly who's the vaccine supplier, which model of vaccine, which will be the exact quantity and date when those vaccines will come to Kosovo. We've constantly had groundless, unconfirmed promises and caused a confusion in the population”, Kodra said.

According to him, every day lost without vaccine burdens the health of patients and businesses in the country.

The fact that countries in the region have managed to provide vaccine doses we can't reason on how much lack of vaccines in the market and we haven't managed to get them we understand is difficult, but at least a certain dose of vaccines has had to come. Every day lost without a vaccine for us is a lot, as the patient's condition says, the economic situation of citizens is heavy, businesses are on the verge of collapse all of this because we have a virus inside and we don't have a vaccine to protect from that virus. Therefore, the biggest burden is falling on citizens and businesses who are making the biggest compromises to protect mankind from COVID, or we would have to have vaccines that they would make such protection”, he stressed.

Delay for Anti - Inocation - CO VID for Kosovo citizens has seen it as irresponsible, former Self-Deputation Movement President Fitim Haziri.

Haziri, who in the latest legislature was also a member of the Health Commission, says promises that in February we will launch the vaccine in Kosovo have been used by the LDK to collect votes.

This indicates that this government, except that it has been unregistered, has also been irresponsible in the face of this situation that we have faced with indigestion. So these on February 10th have claimed we've secured 1.2 million vaccines, now we're at the end of February and nothing is yet visible. What is known throughout history is that the Democratic League of Kosovo has used campaigns and has never kept the promises it has given. This shows that it has been a campaign by them to win as many votes as possible, but citizens are the ones who gave the assessment to this non-legal government”, Haziri stressed.

Democratic Party of Kosovo spokesman Avni Bytyci vows that anti vaccines soon arrive in Kosovo - CO VID called them cheating. According to him, the fact that the same ones were not ordered over time has left citizens in the hands of fate.

He says that at this rate working for vaccine insurance, Kosovo risks not having immunization at the proper level until 2022.

Unfortunately, the citizens of this country have been abandoned and left to the mercy of fate, both by Kurti and Hoti Government, who have managed and managed the issue of pandemic in the country. Not only have these two governments failed to manage the pandemic and manage its consequences but rather have not taken care of ordering vaccines to immuneize the country's citizens, especially categories that have been sensitive to doctors, nurses, and categories that have been on the throne with the struggle of pandemic. Unfortunately, we are the only state, not only in the region, but probably in Europe, that we have not immuned any category of society against coronary society. We're too late and we're going to continue to be late on this step as Government Hoti has done, the odds are that even 2022 gets us without proper vaccines and immunizations or let's say without the right level of citizens”, he stressed.

In fact, Bytyci claims that with these delays for inoculation of citizens Kosovo risks facing even external isolation.

Could happen that beyond internal isolation we will have external isolation because at the moment when most countries in the region and Europe have a percentage of citizens immune to vaccines, we will be the only country that will not be isolated for non-visa liberalisation, but also for health and pandemic causes, we will be isolated as a state. This result has come as a result of a lack of work and failure to co-ordinate by the two governments (Curty and Hoti). In this context, Kosovo has failed in many contexts, not only in regional co-operation, but also in the European one where it seems that we are the only state left who will wait as in the form of EU aid and other countries that if they are exceeded, they will be brought to Kosovo. In this case not only has regional co-operation been missing, especially with Albania, we have failed to order ourselves”, Bytyci said.

Kosova Prees has consistently attempted to take an official stance from the Health Ministry on when the vaccines promised for this month are expected to arrive, but officials from this dictatorship have not responded.

Until a single dose of the vaccine against Coronavirus has yet to reach Kosovo, countries in the region have already launched the vaccine of the most endangered categories. Albania has only received Pfizer's vaccine contingents almost every week, while in April it is expected to reach the first contingent of 360,000 doses of AstraZenecas vaccine. While Serbia has also provided four kinds of vaccines and has also donated some doses to Macedonia's north, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Kosovo is continuing to cut 100800 AstraZenececa vaccines through the World Health Organisation's distribution programme, COVAX, which aims to distribute vaccines to poor countries.
