Kosovo was the last country in the region, which began to unify citizens with anti-Croona virus vaccines. Their first contingent arrived no sooner than March 28th of this year. And even this contingent was within over 100,000 vaccines of Astra Zeneca, which Kosovo received free from the WHO Covax programme.
Although in small numbers, these vaccines raised controversy over who provided them, the current minister of health, or his predecessor.
After that contingent, however, Kosovo also accepted vaccines from Pfizer & BionTec Company. But these too, donations from the European Union.
All this time, in neither of the two governments other than donations, has a single vaccine been purchased. Why the news? The government Kurti II consistently claims they are in talks with Pfizer Company for the purchase of vaccines, and the agreement is near.
But, the American company says they have nothing to announce about the discussions they have now and how long with the Government of Kosovo.
We are still in the process with the Government of Kosovo to provide vaccines and as you are aware of all discussions with the Government are confidential, we have nothing to announce at this time.
As asked by television how much time can take to reach an agreement between a government and the company in question, the same have decided not to answer.
All information about discussions with governments, including the Government of Kosovo, is confidential and we have nothing to declare at this point. T7 finds that one of the reasons why so far does not have an agreement to provide vaccines is the price of their purchase.
As television sources show, executives are refusing to allow vaccines to be bought at high prices.
Unlike Kosovo, the countries of the region since December last year have signed agreements on vaccines.
In Albania, vaculation with Pfizer even began on the first day of January.
Serbia, in the first 3 months of this year, has vaccinated more than 1 million citizens.
An agreement on the purchase of vaccines in February also signed North Macedonia to begin the immediate immunization of citizens.
